      A monoid is a thing that combines two things into one, together with a thing that makes a thing out of nothing, subject to some laws. That is why a monad in C is a monoid in the endofunctor category C: you have a way to combine a double-wrapping into a single-wrapping, together with a way to wrap something, subject to some laws.

      God I hope not. Haskell has so many real world problems. Most people here probably know haskell usually becomes a hassle. Its one of the main reasons why rust took over. I'm a haskeller and I only use haskell for parsing and compiling and using the library megaparsec and other parsing libraries to convert languages to another language. Haskell is like a perl with more stupid disguised as pompous elitism using borrowed vocabulary and incorrect metaphors from advanced math. I took level 2 imaginary math and it made my journey even worse with Haskell back in 2012 because I expected monad to be like the mathematical definition, but nope. They changed the definition of monad for Haskell. They did that through all of haskell with the phony use of mathematical terms.

      The Monad tutorial hell is just because the Haskell community have been too busy circlejerking for 30 years straight to explain things using terminology software engineers understand. Thank god the creators of Rust and Lean weren’t so dense...
      A monad is just an interface that lets you encapsulate side effects in a convenient way. It lets you write imperative-looking code to glue your pure function moonshine together.
      The monad interface borrowed the name and laws from pure math, which is cool, because it means smarter people than us Grugs can prove things about this abstraction’s correctness and composability.
      Haskell shouldn’t be as hard as it is. It’s just that too much of the community is full of themselves and _terrible_ at explaining simple things.

    Monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors isn't actually that hard to understand at its core the words are just impenetrable
    It just means (>>=) :: (a -> m b) -> m a -> m b

    • @Miaumiau3333
      @Miaumiau3333 Před 7 dny +4

      It means a bit more than that. A monoid is a triple (X, •, e) where • is an associative binary operation and e is the identity element. For example (Int, +, 0) is a monoid. A monad is an endofunctor M together with >>= (as you mentioned) and return :: a -> M a. The point is that if you define a monoid (X, •, e) in the category of endofunctors, you will find that • has the same type signature as >>= and e has the same type signature as return. Also, if you define a monad, then it is always a monoid too (in the category of endofunctors). So a monad is precisely a monoid in the category of endofunctors.

      > if you define a monoid (X, •, e) in the category of endofunctors

      FP is easy until you have to apply it in practice. People often tend to learn better when they can compare things to something they already know. You can't do that in FP beause almost everything is abstraction which stacks on top of more abstractions to the point people get confused to exhaustion. One great example of that is you're not gonna find a single person in the entire Haskell community which can give a satisfactory explanation as to what a monad is.

      Ironically, despite the fact that Haskell is exceptionally difficult to learn and write, it's not actually convoluted (though you can write convoluted code, as in all languages). The core of FP, lambda calculus, makes it so that you can very simply evaluate code bit by bit to figure out what's going on. Compare this to the call graphs that form in OOP; all of these objects which are easy to understand individually form a network that is unbelievably convoluted. For an example, look at the old LLVM docs which had all of those absurdly messy graphs.

How many patterns and best practices have been devised to help do OOP right? Dependency injection, inversion of control, SOLID principles, etc. How many guardrails have to be written to protect against null references? How many times did something get mutated unexpectedly because it was passed around by reference? How many GoF patterns did you have to learn? FP is hard also, but in different ways. The patterns that may work in OOP to solve a problem have their own solutions in FP. What makes FP better IMHO is by defaulting to what I consider sane language settings. Immutability by default, expressions instead of statements, automatic currying, returning results instead of exceptions, preference for pure functions and total functions, the Type system and discriminated unions, no NULL!!!

    Lisp was an *enormous* language in 1977, it wasn't quite ready for the ANSI standard but it was the Java of its day -- largely created for practical needs without much regard for theoretical purity. "pure" versions of it existed (one of which we have as Scheme today, for example), but Common Lisp and its predecessors take a thousand-page tome to fully describe.

    Haskell is a simple language but it has extensions that make language infinitely extendable but you don't really need it.
    And Haskell is very high-level language, much more high-level than JavaScript to the point that it allows you to use math theory to solve problems on the level of expression and context of the language which is unachievable with something like JavaScript.
    The thing why people think it's difficult is because of some libraries written by nerds with insanely overcomplicated types but it's not Haskell's issue, those madmans would invent the same in JavaScript if they were to write it

      My highest math class was Level 2 Imaginary Mathematics. I was familiar with all the mathematical terms that Haskell uses. Haskell's implementation of the mathematical terms like monad, pure function, category theorem, functor, arrows, and other complex stuff is way off based. They pompously and incorrectly use the vocabulary to explain basic knowledge that we already use in OOP design. Its like Perl + Pompous. A regular programmer is not going to grok haskell and its documentation unless you go and relearn what the haskellers thinks that ish means. Haskell documentation and tutorials are like a pompous misinformation. If I didn't already know J, perl, APL c++, prolog, and have a physicist's understanding of math, then reading the Haskell documents would have been hell. I can imagine regular programmers just dropping out of learning Haskell at any detailed level. Haskell is so type involved that it can be used like a APL or mathematical programming languages for theorist and physicists. Other than that, Haskell is overkill. And it causes problems for real world situations. Most companies that I know who use Haskell, use it to weed out programmers just to keep trade secrets.
