You could try "You Could Have Invented Monads" for an explanation of why they're valuable https://blog.jcoglan.com/2011/03/05/translation-from-haskell... (linking to the JS version, which links to the Haskell version).

But while I liked that tutorial, I think what worked was time. I tried to write Haskell and slowly got a feel for them. After awhile, I started to read JS and Java code and think "oh, another monad".

Somehow in the last hour that link died. Here's a page with the same title, but in Haskell: http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monad...

The link gives a 404 error. Could you post it again?
