I don't know if this is useful, but I've been doing a series of videos on monads. They have a different style than others I've read (very visual, avoiding standard jargon, not caring about category theory). They might be useful to people joining the session. http://www.vimeo.com/20717301 http:/

Jim, i assume you are familiar with haskell (monads -> haskell :)) So my question is, can you describe the difference in working with monads in dynamic language (clojure) with working with monads in haskell. >From my own experience i would say that without a firm help from typing system i would st
