> Numerous tutorials and blog posts would never have been written if only functor was named mappable and monad was named computation builder.

If that were so, monad and functor tutorials would be as follows:

Functor tutorial: imagine it's called "mappable". End of tutorial.

Monad tutoral: imagine it's called "computation builder". End of tutorial
