Every programming language is just different syntax for stuff you can do 
already in assembler. So?

Once you work with a language that does *not* have monads or list 
comprehension, get back to me on whether it's useful to bother with. :-)

And you know what? What do you think LINQ is simplified syntax for? Look at 
the underlying routines it translates into, and tell me if it's equivalent 
to monads. I'm honestly curious.
