I don't disagree that every technical community has its own terms. But it's very difficult to broaden that community by restricting yourself narrowly to those terms. To me, "an arrow that works like a monad" reads like a recursive definition: if you don't understand how one works, you can't understand the other.

The net effect is that your community is going to be composed of people who made a conscious effort to break through the communication barrier. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; you end up with a small, focused group of very smart people. But it doesn't buy you many converts in the industry.
