I don't know why, but I just dont "get" monads. Perhaps playing with Haskell more will help.

Not sure what the point of implementing monads in Ruby is. It's like implementing 'pointers' so that you can talk about programming in C.

It's nice to know what's possible.

If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
