I liked the idea of being able to set up the rules of the monad and then be guaranteed that every player in that monad would return correct results according to the rules (hope that made sense).

Either way, this is the first demo I actually really get and can see the everyday application to regular real-world coding problems. Thanks!

Can you even return a null-reference in Scala?

Anyway the concept isn’t something new, it’s in many languages.
