If you don't know that monoids are endomorphisms, and that a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, it's worth reading Functional Programming Patterns (BuildStuff'14) slide deck.

Grins.
I'm just impressed that this is the best explanation of monads, monoids and endofunctors I've seen, along with stretching my brain about how I can better use the procedural languages I currently plod along with.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
