@cwebber @TodePond me among them! I don't like 'normal' programming but geonodes I can get lost in, and I end up sneakily learning some general concepts in the process. like now I know that fields are monads, thanks lol. it also forced me to learn about vector math!

@tibi2 @TodePond Indeed! Fields in geometry nodes explain monads pretty well actually: the reason it looks like fields "flow backwards" is you're actually inputting a function which is a "recipe" to be evaluated on each item rather than an individual value!

@tibi2 @TodePond This is the only time in programming where "Oh, it's a monad!" made the situation less confusing for me lol
