* In computer science, a [[wikipedia:Monad (functional programming)|monad]] is a structure of types which can be used to wrap and compose computations, particularly in functional programming. Its name and concept derive from the category-theoretic term, as it can be described by a category-theoretic monad with a certain choice of category. Monads are most commonly associated with the functional programming language Haskell, but have seen use in other languages either explicitly or in spirit. | * In computer science, a [[wikipedia:Monad (functional programming)|monad]] is a structure of types which can be used to wrap and compose computations, particularly in functional programming.
