That's because it's a technical article about monad implementation, building on previous technical discussion. The author could spend time explaining what monads are, but that's a notoriously tricky thing to teach, and if you don't understand them fully, the article as a whole won't be worth anything to you anyways.

Perhaps the author could have put such a disclaimer? "Note: it is beyond the scope of this blog post to explain what a monad is. Please refer to x,y,z for background material."

Anyway, I understand.

The article says in the introduction:

> I am going to be assuming some familiarity with monads (and to a certain extent, do notation). There are enough introductions to monads out there as it is.
