I am going to use the function 'hashPassword' in [1] and I am not able to understand why the result is

<span style="font-family: Consolas, Courier, monospace;">MonadRandom ByteArray</span> instead of simply being a

<span style="font-family: Consolas, Courier, monospace;">ByteString </span>(or, ByteArray, or similar). Looking at [2], the only useful thing I can do with a

<span style="font-family: Consolas, Courier, monospace;">MonadRandom a</span> is to convert it to

<span style="font-family: Consolas, Courier, monospace;">IO a</span>. Why would a result of this determistic computation be a

<span style="font-family: Consolas, Courier, monospace;">IO</span>?<br>
