<p class="MsoNormal">Hello – I’m proposing to restructure <a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Understanding_monads/State">
this</a>, and I have a draft <a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Davjam2:Example/StateMonad">

<p class="MsoNormal">I’d very much like feedback before updating the real page, especially if people don’t like the new one much.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m new here, so should probably say a bit about myself. I’ve been learning-by-doing Haskell for about two years. Sometimes I feel I’m starting to get it, but these feelings don’t usually last long. I’m certainly not an expert, and don’t
have a PhD in Very Clever Things. I do have quite an extensive IT background, originally programming in Lisp and Prolog, then (sadly) C++, VB and SQL but have had quite a long break from programming (doing dumb things like architecting systems and project
managing) before looking at Haskell. I built <a href="https://decimos.net/">this website</a> and
<a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/MapWith">this library</a>, just for my own amusement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apologies if this isn’t the right place to send this. (But then where is?) I’ve already put a note on the page itself about the new draft, but I’ve no idea whether anyone will notice it.<o:p></o:p></p>
