Monad is a design pattern used to describe computations as a series of steps. They are extensively used in pure functional programming languages to manage side effects but can also be used in multiparadigm languages to control complexity. Monads wrap types giving them additional behavior like the automatic propagation of empty value (Maybe monad) or simplifying asynchronous code (Continuation mona
