Then it still finds what it is looking for because /usr/sbin and /usr/bin are now the same place.

Your animosity is perplexing given that the article agrees with you; it even ends with:

Anyway, these are good moves, and I’m glad most prominent Linux distributions are not married to decisions made in the ’70s, especially not when they can be undone without users really noticing anything.

You should think of Monad as basically giving you a way to provide your own implementation of the semicolon operator so that you can dictate what it means to sequence computations of a given type.

You misspelled Haskell.

In Haskell, all functions are curried by default, so you can partially apply a function merely by applying it to fewer than the supported number of arguments.

Also, it is worth noting that laziness-by-default in Haskell makes it so that you can use ordinary functions to define control structures, rather than needing to turn to metaprogramming like you do in Lisp.
