Gregory's ServerWhen I read half of the Haskell book and already thought it was easy, I went to the local hackerspace to haskell seminar and was met by Applicative-Functor-Monad-Type-Inference all that thing.

@ramin_hal9001 I definitely have some questions to Haskell syntax :) From practical point of view monads looks quite approachable, but it's interesting to grasp stuff behind them.  @abcdw That goes for anyone, really. |
@abcdw The #Haskell syntax is easy, that is for sure.
Functors, Applicatives, and #Monads are best learned by example, in my opinion. When I first learned about them, they were so simple that I thought I was missing something. Knowing their definition (which is very simple) doesn't help one understand how it relates to modeling computational procedures until one actually sees examples of how these concepts are used for that purpose.
