In my household, functors, applicatives and monads have been bad words for some time.
I have since worked out that pushing me to Write a Scheme Interpreter in 48 Hours was to get me to learn more about monads.
I'm struggling a little with understanding the bind operator and how it works. I'm somewhat familiar with do notation, but I am not quite there yet with the IO monad either.
I am currently reading Learn You A Haskell's section on monads as well as working through a handful of basic exercises from How to Design Programs to familiarise myself with Scheme and it's syntax.
This thing is going to take me much more than 48 hours. :P
