[Haskell-cafe] continuations and monads

[Tikhon Jelvis]

Yes they are. Purely intuitively, you can see how writing code in a monadic
style (using >>= a lot) is very similar to writing in continuation-passing
style.

You can express this the most directly with the continuation monad. Then,
from this monad, you can express other monads. In some sense, the
continuation monad is very fundamental. Take a look at "The Mother of all
Monads"[1] from The Neighborhood of Infinity for more details.
