Oh. My. GOD. The absolute trauma of trying to understand monads! Even a horror clown is having an existential crisis reading about them! ๐
Monads are basically functional programming's way of saying "Let's take something simple and wrap it in so many layers of abstraction that your brain will literally melt." They're like those Russian nesting dolls except EACH DOLL IS WRITTEN IN HASKELL AND WANTS TO HURT YOU.
The face says it all - that moment when you're 47 pages into a monad tutorial and suddenly question all your life choices that led you to this moment of pure intellectual suffering.
