> things that makes monads notoriously difficult to explain to people outside of the Haskell ecosystem

Huh, I thought a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?

And here I was convinced that they’re burritos!

I will say that explaining functors to my coworkers was always much simpler, and then naturally led to monads

		I suspect all branches of tech have their rite of passage. For haskellers, it is writing a monad tutorial For javascripters, it is writing a framework For make-stuff-with-LLM people, it is producing a diagram explaining your code generation factory ... and so on
