I seriously have no idea what you're talking about here.  What is the
"functional-object style" and why would we want to convert monads into
objects?

Anyway, have a look at:

* http://www.timber-lang.org/

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Haskell (homepage link seems down)

* http://homepages.cwi.nl/~ralf/OOHaskell/

* http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/The_Monad.Reader/Issue3/Functional_Programming_vs_Object_Oriented_Programming

etc.
