Then what? You made the vague statement, make it not vague.

>And OCaml has monads, they are just a library like else.

And? I did not claim ocaml lacks monads. You claimed haskell lacks extensible records. You do understand that my post was a direct reply to what you said right? Not just some random things I felt like saying for no particular reason.

Monads are arguably a library in Haskell, too... though one the standard guarantees is present, exposed by the Prelude, and relied on by a lot of code.
