Before Jumping into Monads

A lot of people come from popular languages that tout being "object-oriented" and they hear about something called "monads" but haven't found the time to figure them out completely. They look for a simple explanation, but run into one or more of the following problems:

too many concepts explained at once
vague explanations (including analogies that break)

I've been thinking about this for some time, and I think differences between Lars and Tony may be irreconcilable on their respective stated principles.

Also, I'm coming to the conclusion that a Typelevel fork of Scalaz is not a bad idea if Lars's and Tony's values are as uncompromising as they both suggest.

The obvious, but I'm stating it anyway

If you don't know much about Scala, but want to get started quickly. It's by no means an guide to Scala or SBT, the build system for Scala I'm recommending for getting started. There's a learning curve to picking up both Scala and SBT. All I'd like to do is remove the barrier to entry, so you can begin your study.

I'm going to assume you've done some programming in some other language, but not necessarily work on the Java virtual machine (JVM), which Scala targets.

I'm also going to assume you have a Java Developer Kit (JDK) already installed

A Response to a Response

Bob Martin wrote a blog article titled "OO vs FP".

Bob has a style of writing that makes it hard for some to see clearly his position objectively. In fact, his post is itself a response to a slide from another presentation arguably suffering from the same qualities.

	# Python Goes To Church
	# =====================

	# What would Python be like if all we had was simple (single argument) lambda
	# expressions? We could write some helpful functions like these:

	id = lambda a: a


	// a simple process1 that splits the frames up based on a "\r\n" sequence of chars
	val partitioner = {
	import java.util.regex.Pattern
	import scalaz.stream.process1
	import scalaz.std.string._

	val pattern = Pattern.compile("\r\n")
	process1.repartition { s: String =>
	pattern.split(s, -1)

	import Control.Lens
	import Data.Maybe
	import Data.Monoid

	data Constant a b =
	Constant a

	Pieces you need:

	* emacs
	* ghcid

	ghcid needs to know the height of the terminal, we'll set it explicitly

	height = (window-height) - (scroll-margin) - 1

	set this height as your term-buffer-maximum-size
