Re:Ask HN: What is a monad? by wnoise on Sunday December 12, 2010 @06:58PM (#1998556)
I didn't want to give the full categorical definition in terms of what a monoidal category allows, because I don't think that adds much, but I suppose I flubbed making it simpler. I just wanted to make the point that the monoidal portion determines how the composition occurs -- a given type constructor can be a monad multiple ways.
