I rewrote large sections of this article because I cited it for someone who wanted to know what monads are, he told me it didn't make any sense, and I agreed. Mainly, I made it less heavy on mathematical formulas. It's now heavy on Haskell, but I think that's appropriate because Haskell is the main promoter of monads, and this lets people download a Haskell system and try the code.

: I don't think this was a good idea. Mathematics is universal across languages. Haskell is not. Perhaps a little bit of explanation of Haskell's syntax would be in order, or else just use pseudocode. Also, since you do say that there exist formulations in Scheme and Perl, perhaps a reference to those formulations would be nice. The section that existed previous to your edit which defined for instance the bind operator is much more clear than the current version. Please re-add a section describing the notation used, because unless you already know Haskell, it doesn't currently make a lick of sense.
