Your description of a monad comprehension in Idris reminds me of computation expressions in F#[1]. Looks like I have one more programming language to dive into!

A closer analogue is probably do-notation, which comprehensions are syntactic sugar for. Comprehensions can be terser for simple expressions, but for anything longer, do notation is generally more readable.
