Speaking only for myself, I concern myself with an algorithm when I am 
learning an algorithm, or using one to solve a real problem.

I try out list monads to learn about list monads, because I am already 
comfortable with list comprehensions.

I concern myself with syntax manipulations and pointedness for the sheer 
unadulterated fun of it.

Then I go back to my day job using C++.

Everyone has their own motivations. I would not draw any further 
conclusions about them from the data at hand.
