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".
Oh, sorry -- you mean comprehensions (not the iteration protocol, which
is used by all for-of syntax) are only about creating fresh arrays.
Yes, that's true. One alternative is a generator expression, which
doesn't build any eager data structure, rather iterates and yields
values on demand.
As Jason pointed out, arrows sweeten the explicit monadic patterns, e.g.
monadic Promises. To close this thread it would be helpful to see an
example where you use all the ES6 sugar, and then say why you'd still
want another special form.
