This video should help in explaining what the library is about. It's a talk
by Edward Kmett, the author of the library, and he goes into the motivation
and internals of the library:

Don't worry if you don't get everything in the first watch though, I've

first half of it, maybe ;)

Reading the papers before hand might help too.

Enjoy!
