Monads in Elixir

&gt; This post is not about what monads are, I expect that you already know about them.<p>And a good resource if you don&#x27;t would be..?<p>I enjoyed watching [1] last week so I suspect I have seen the concept, even if I don&#x27;t grasp what&#x27;s meant by a monad.<p>1. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;113707214" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;113707214</a>

This is an example where you&#x27;d really want static types for ergonomics. Having to name the monad explicitly does not allow to write generic code (i.e, instead of saying `Maybe.return` to just say `return).
