[Haskell-cafe] Martin Odersky on "What's wrong with Monads"

False!

You only have to change the parts of the program that need the effect
that the monad provides. A well designed program will likely have much
of its code in pure libraries. Think of the monadic code as a
"scripting language" that you bind your libraries together with to
make the program.
