I may be missing something, but why are you using both State and
StateT? Maybe I don't understand your code, but it seems like you
could be using StateT everywhere you're currently using State.

Also, your type signatures would be easier to read if you defined a
type synonym for your instantiation of StateT, e.g.:

type AlfonsoM s = StateT s IO ()

and then everywhere you write (StateT s IO ()) now, you could write
(AlfonsoM s) instead.

Cheers,
Kirsten
