alt Hacker News> The thing that makes monads difficult is laziness and the anti math circle jerk.
That's quite a hateful way to describe lack of knowledge.
There are some prerequisites that make it easier to understand monads, and a lot of programmers don't even know those. That can make learning monads difficult right off the bat.

Lack of knowledge is not the problem at all. Anti-intellectualism is.

No there's no complexity behind monads except laziness and anti math circle jerk.
It's really basic concepts, much easier than the analysis you do in high school.
But people would rather sit through monad as boxes or burritos cringe tutorials.
