[Haskell-cafe] newbie "concatenating" monad question

[Leandro Penz]

Hi

I'm new here and this is my first mail to the list, so be gentle :)

I have some functions that build big strings by calling other functions and
appending the result, like

buildStuff =
  func1 ++ func2 ++ func3 ++ func4

My idea is to have a monad with a concatenating >>, so that I can:

bulidStuff = do
  func1
  func2
  func3
  func4

I am thinking about using the writer monad, but I would still have to use
"tell". The list monad is not an option either, as it does not concatenate.

Is there a proper way of doing something like this (efficiently) ?
