FOLLOW THE SIMPLE RULES

I'm sure everyone on /#haskell/ /prog/ has seen this already but I didn't find a reference to it in my cursory evaluation of this board's activity from the past year or two (ie. by glancing at the front page; anything else would require side effects).

Monads are possibly the biggest mistake in the design of Haskell, even more gigantic and ridiculous than trying to make it "pure" in the first place. Writing monad transformers is every bit as difficult as debugging Sepples templates, except it requires about 1000.times more theory to even begin to understand what the fuck you're doing.

They're not actually user-friendly at all and I hope you perish in the mires of your toy Haskell program's source code for even bringing that up.
