What's wrong with the iteration protocol?
Nothing at all for arrays. For every other monad, there's no sugar:
the only monad multiplication that's supported is list concatenation.
Iteration is much more general than "arrays".
Can you give an example (with the latest LRT syntax, and arrows) that
shows what is lost?
Monads, I know 'em, but they remind me of these interminable
Future/Promise threads, and then I want to lie down till the feeling
goes away. :-/
Again, we're not doing control effects the way you might want given a clean
slate.
Sure, but array.map has never been pure. Anyone who wants purity
won't be using JavaScript. I was just hoping that since we have
special syntax for one monad, we could use it for all of them.
What special syntax for what monad?
Monads with pretend purity are nice until runtime bugs bite.
