The specific monad I am dealing with carries state around inside it.

I could revert to a pure system in many cases by simply passing the
state as a parameter but then that defeats the point of the monad and
clutters up my function calls.

Also, in other cases, I am using a module that defines its own monads
and have no choice but to use them.

I think I would prefer a style of programming where monads are equal
citizens to pure function calls. There are various hints that such a
style of programming is possible but as I say, I have not found any
clear tutorials on it.
