Monads
The Universe of Discourse pointed me to “Mondas”. Before, I had no idea, what Monads are. Likely, I still don’t have a clue, but I did like this wicked analogy: Monads are like burritos. When I continued reading the Universe of Disclosure, I learned that probability distributions form Monads. Which is where I saw the first time what turned out to be Haskell code (I think). Finally, the Universe of Discourse provides a bibliography of probability Monads.
This is why blogging is cool.
