Another Approach to Monads in Scala: A Way to Generalize Chained Computations

An explanation of monads in Scala as a way to generalize chained computations, using Cats and Scala 3 features.

Although we've done a couple of other videos on the channel about monads ( from a practical necessity and from a very abstract point of view), this video explores yet another angle at Monads, which is the capability to generalize chained computations.
