Accessible bridge between category theory and functional programming

TL;DR

This paper introduces a new perspective on monadic programming in functional programming by leveraging category theory, aiming to make monads more accessible to programmers through illustrative Haskell examples.

Contribution

It provides a novel categorical framework for understanding monads, enhancing clarity and accessibility for functional programmers.

Findings

Categorical perspective simplifies monad understanding.

Haskell examples demonstrate practical application.

Improves accessibility of monadic programming.

Abstract

Monadic programming presents a significant challenge for many programmers. In light of category theory, we offer a new perspective on the use of monads in functional programming. This perspective is clarified through numerous examples coded in Haskell.
