I am new to clojure and functional programming, but not to programming
in general, having been in the profession for a quarter of a century.
I'm trying to stretch myself a bit by learning clojure, but some of the
threads here go beyond mere stretching to verge on head-exploding. In
my offline reading of this list this morning, I tried using the tools
available to me at the time (dict client and a few dictionaries like
foldoc) to make sense of words like: http://foldoc.org/monad . I
survived to write this post, but only barely.
What I would like to have is some sort of lexicon to at least help
explain the terminology in a way that doesn't require three years of
academic exposure to functional programming to read. Is there such a
reference? Or should I just ignore threads like "Why do functions in
the state monad only accept one value?" and be happy that at least
somebody cares about this stuff, so that I don't have to?
