Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: Monades - I've got it! (hopefully)
in F# they renamed Monad to Workflow, I don't think this is helpful, I didn't claim ... at least it's a funny attempt to introduce warm fuzzy thing terminology. it only really works for state-like monads. Workflow doesn't make sense at all for [a], for example. Well, it could be seen as a non-deterministic workflow (with none, one or several outcomes). Cf.
