We can quickly find out that ScottyM is a Functor/Applicative/Monad though. And in this code (and using this library in general), that's all we need to know! FAM is a universal interface.

Knowing you can <$> <*> >>= doesn't mean you know what something does/what it's for though.

But it typically tells you how to compose such a thing, especially if it's 100% abstract to begin with (like Scotty.) It just becomes type Tetris.
