Monads/List monad: Difference between revisions

Perl 6 does not have Monad types built in but they can be emulated/implemented without a great deal of difficulty. List Monads especially are of questionable utility in Perl 6. Most item types and Listy types have a Cool role in Perl 6. (Cool being a play on the slang term "cool" as in: "That's cool with me." (That's ok with me). So Ints are pretty much treated like one item lists for operators that expectwork with lists. ("I wantwork on a list." "Here's an Int." "Ok, that's cool.") Explicitly wrapping an Int into a List is worse than useless. It won't do anything Perl 6 can't do natively, and will likely '''remove''' some functionality that it would normally have. That being said, just because it is a bad idea (in Perl 6) doesn't mean it can't be done.
