Monads do for functional programming what objects do for imperative programming. As the software industry moves from simple systems that required highly optimal code to complex systems that require highly modular code, functional programming has risen in prominence. Monadic design can leverage the power of the emerging imperative/functional software engineering paradigm to produce cleaner, faster, more reliable code.
