Wow. This is a cool point of view on monads, thank you for enlightening (the arrow stuff is yet too difficult for me to understand)! 2009/1/21 Andrzej Jaworski hims...@poczta.nom.pl: Monads are monoids in categories of functors C - C Arrows are monoids in subcategories of bifunctors (C^op) x C

Category Theory should speak for itself and I am so glad you guys have seen the beauty of this approach. Yes, Mauro you are right: locally small Freyd categories correspond to monoidal structure of Arrows, but the strength in this correspondence is as yet unknown to me. I disagree however
