Hello Guix,
I've been struggling to write Part 2 of Dissecting Guix; I'm just not sure where to start to
explain monads.
It's hard for a variety of reasons, those being that:
- Guile has no type system, so you can't express monads in terms of types
- Guix doesn't implement very many monads (only state, identity, and store), so it's
difficult to explain with a simpler monad, as there are no simpler monads
- Guix doesn't have functors or monoids either, so it's hard to "progressively" explain
first functors, then monoids, then monads
- Monads are just difficult in general :P
Any suggestions? :/
