it just seemed like the tutorials just pivoted from monads to lenses to arrows. but fair enough, I never did "get" haskell. I loved the functional aspect of functional problems (e.g science equations), but once it came to carrying state, everything just turned into a mess for me.

> everything just turned into a mess for me

I just want to say, this one is absolutely normal.

That's what learning new stuff feels like most of the time.

Then, after you pass through it, you go and write a tutorial so other people are spared. But then... I'm not sure this part works :)

yeah I look forward to writing my own monad analogy!
