Functors, Applicatives, and Monads in Plain English

This website provides an introduction to the concepts of monoids, monads, and functors in functional programming. It explains that monoids are mathematical structures with an associative binary operation and an identity element. Monads, on the other hand, are a way to encapsulate computations and manage side effects in a pure functional programming language. Functors, as described on the website, are objects that can be mapped over, allowing for transformations of their contents. The author presents examples and explanations of each concept, along with their practical applications in programming. This resource serves as a helpful guide for understanding these fundamental concepts in functional programming.
