* those who have to understand what monads are
* those who don't want to learn what monads are

An antimeme. No matter how many times monads are explained, nobody ever retains what it is.

quaternions are the monads of graphics?
don’t quote me on this but i’m fairly sure you can treat quaternions as affine 3-vectors and retrieve the specific 3-vector by dividing by the real component

This just in: Trump administration to repeal Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's doctrine of pre-established harmony of the universe, in which God created non-interacting, independent substances (monads) that are perfectly synchronized with the material world from the beginning.
You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Monads also handle optionality (the better replacement for null)! The interesting insight in monads is that all these very different problems have a similar structure. The problem with monads is that while that’s very interesting, it’s also very unintuitive and so not a very good user interface

Monads have nothing specifically to do with Haskell or I/O. Monads are not even specific to programming. They're just as present in Haskell as in C++ as in plenty of non-programming contexts. It's just a ubiquitous abstract concept one could think about or not, as one likes.
