> In what world is initiating a productive discussion about an important issue

A toy example is not an important issue. As for initiating productive discussions, I will let your comments speak for themselves

1. This is cargo cult programming at its worst

2. What drove you to unleash this horror on the programming masses, Moggi?

3. Why have you cursed us so?

4. It makes me sad that having monad sugar ....

5. .... stripped of all utility and sense.

The toy example is a microcosm of the important issue. The important issue is the use of monads in functional programming.

How is a discussion not productive just because it's not framed in the most formal language possible?
