Seriously though... this ties in with the other issues about *purely* functional languages being rather impractical, and the purity generally being sullied some by things like monads (which I still don't understand, despite the explanations in another thread).
If you'd like to understand better, I could put together an example that illustrates the basic idea behind monads using Python. It's really not that hard; it only seems hard because it's traditionally presented in a very abstract and mathematical way. In the process, I think I could also answer your earlier question about why automatic currying is considered such a good idea. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
