SUMMARY
Monads are an interesting topic, and this chapter gave you an understanding of what they are and how they are relevant. The fact remains that C# doesn’t lend itself well to programming with monads — some concepts can be adopted, but for many purposes monads are cumbersome to use. Nevertheless, I made the decision to include this chapter because monads are such an important idea in functional programming, and the basic understanding you have gained will be useful to any further research you may do in this area.
