As Marvel Rivals gets ready to kick off season 3 next week, we're getting our first glimpse at some of the upcoming changes.

A List Is a Monad

news.ycombinator.com Alex Yorke 2026-02-13 09:53:42

The term “monad” is often invoked when describing patterns in functional programming. Yet explanations typically swing between high-level metaphors and deep mathematical abstractions.
