Creative uses of monads

Question

I\'m looking for creative uses of monads to learn from. I\'ve read somewhere that monads have been used for example in AI, but being a monad newbie, I fail to see how.

Answer 1

One interesting use of monad is in parsing. Parsec is the standard example.

Answer 2

you can find interesting and advanced monads in the blog A Neighborhood of Infinity. I can note the Vector Space Monad, and its use for rational tangles description. Unfortunately,I don't think I understand this well enough to explain it here.
