I don’t know if this is correct, but if it is, this is best answer to this question I’ve ever seen.

I'm sure someone will be like "um akchuly" to my explanation. But for me it's good enough to think if it that way.

I've worked in Haskell and F# for a decade, and added some of the original code to the Unison compiler, so I'm at least passingly familiar with the subject. Enough that I've had to explain it to new hires a bunch of times to get them to to speed. I find it easier to learn something when I'm given a practical use for it and how it solves that problem.

Lovely response! Very cool to see Unison mentioned. Haskell and Purescript are my daily drivers but I have a huge crush on it even though it intimidates me.

Ps. Unison doesn’t have monads. They are replaced by “abilities”.
