Monads in my experience are less likely used for IO than people think. Of course Haskell developers use monads in this way, but OCaml and Scala programmers generally avoid this.
Instead monads are used to unify the foundation of many types: options, lists, trees, etc. Also monads are really nice for futures and parsers.
The point I’m trying to make I guess is that monads are very useful for other things than dealing with impurity, which I think a lot of people just learning them miss.
