  The difference, to me, is that I understand what inheritance is and why
it's useful. I can't say the same about currying or monads.

  Btw, in the articles mentioned in the original post the example is
given of making an int "nullable" via a monad (or something along those
lines). I can't comprehend what this has to do with I/O (or, more precisely,
I can't understand what this kind-of "inheritance", which is what it looks
like to me, has to do with I/O), as the I/O monad seems to be one of the
main concepts of haskell.
