Great explanation of Monads. I had no idea. Articles like this make me enjoy the jQuery community even more. BTW – I just found this awesome jQuery cheat sheet for the iPhone. It’s really great. I’ve only had it for a couple days and it’s already making my life a lot easier.

Looks like there’s also a CSS Cheat Sheet from the same guys.

Hmmm… those aren’t the three monad laws. What you’ve described is the structure of a Monad, and in particular, the Haskell-specific structure, not the Category Theoretic structure. Abstractly, a Monad is a functor with two transformations: unit and join (from which Haskell’s bind can be derived), and furthermore adheres to the three laws of left identity, right identity, and associativity.

I see where you’re going with your post, but you’re not quite there yet. If you want to call something a Monad, be rigorous and accurate, or otherwise make it known that you’re just making a loose comparison.
