Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

The linked posts are about OCaml beginner's guides, and the one comment shown discusses learning monads, which it encountered through Lwt, and links other resources on them. It does not comment on the blog's writing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. I actually first encountered monads in Lwt, and they were quite understandable in that context, although it took some digging. Here is a list I found useful to learn more about monads (they aren't necessarily all the ones that I had to read to understand them, there was another page that I can't find right now): http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/mpri/2-4/monads.2up.pdf http://blog.enfranchisedmind.com/2007/08/a-monad…
