My first steps towards functional programming were in haskell. Never really did get it. Thats why I like Elixir, its a functional language that I can understand as a programming-craftsman. Imo using patterns like monads builds a wall around your code, which makes onboarding “craftsmen” nearly impossible (like you said, everyone that gets the code cant explain it).
I’d really like to see an example were using monads gives that much of a benefit over the Elixir way (tagged tuples, lists, with, …) that justifies the brainf***.
