Some of the most common uses for monads have pre-existing mechanisms with Clojure to handle them, e.g.: sequence monad (for) state monad (Clojure has many stateful mechansisms) maybe monad (Clojure programmers usually just return nil for failure, and use something like when-let to process it)
In terms of higher-level DSLs constructed out of monads, the most useful monadic frameworks I've seen are monads for parsing, and monads for representing probability distributions. If I needed to do one of those things in Clojure, I'd look closely at monad options. But since I haven't needed to do those things, and the common uses for monads are already covered, I haven't found a need to do any monadic style programming in my own code. --Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
