I think I finally understand monads at last! I mean, I had written a little bit of stuff with them in Haskell already, and not just the IO monad, but now I feel like I have a much clearer picture of how Haskell monads relate to conventional control structures. In addition to sequence, perhaps you should say that monads "overload" assignment and exception-throwing? Hmm, I've just gone off to read the monad laws again, and I guess I don't really understand monads after all. Maybe after I sleep. Fantastic! I think I finally understand monads at last!

Hmm, I’ve just gone off to read the monad laws again, and I guess I don’t really understand monads after all. Maybe after I sleep.
