Not the OP but I’m guessing the problem they are referring to is when people think they need to understand what a monad is from a category theory pov before they can write meaningful code. Or worse yet, when they are trying to teach the language to others and think they need to explain that in order when a newcomer just wants to print a string.

It’s like a built in bikeshedding bait for the whole programming language.

Yes, this is a very strange belief
