I do hope monads won! But I thought I'd share the story of that.
At the same time Saunders was writing CWM, I was introducing
operads. I coined that word as a portmanteau (look up Lewis
Carrol) of operations and monads, and I persuaded Saunders to
switch from triple to monad to go along. He was not an easy
man to persuade.
