Brian Lonsdorf provides a fast-paced introduction to practical use cases for functors, applicatives, and monads using JavaScript.
I hit on some practical use cases for functors/applicatives/monads. Pretty fast and quick run through of everything, but you can't learn the world in 30 min. Hopefully, people get some intuition or a better concrete understanding - enough to play with the code. here github.com/DrBoolean/patterns_talkWhy it's here

On “Coming from JavaScript - Any tips?”
Here is a good video.

The speaker uses JavaScript to demonstrate some fundamental concepts in Haskell ( Functor, Monad, etc )
But I should warn you that it is going to feel awkward while comprehending all these examples in the video and no wonder because it's not the way things are done in JS. Thats why it seems so unnatural.
I usually tried to ignore such videos where someone was trying to explain monads implementing them in JS because the only impression I get from such tutorials is useless abstraction overhead.
