"With replacement" means that you select a value from the source, but
you don't actually remove it. That way, it's still available to be

Folks,
I would like to write an Erlang VM in Haskell. I first thought of

Yeah, I did have troubles with (StateT StdGen Maybe). If it hits a
"Nothing", I'd like it to skip that one and try again with the next
state. But instead, Nothing is treated as a failure condition that
makes the whole thing fail. I just found MaybeT on the wiki, which
looks like it could work. I'l

I've seen the analogy with "recipes" used before, but I think that you
need to be careful when you try to distinguish the analogy to monads
from the analogy to functions. The reason is that, in the one-of-many
