You're right, I should have said there are other ways to represent effects than using one single IO monad for everything.

No no, sorry, I didn't want to suggest that. I just replied on this paragraph:

I would personally argue that monads are not a good way to represent effects, but they are the current standard for generic functionally pure programming languages. Some other interesting ways of representing effects include uniqueness types and free monads.

I would say the simpler monad tutorials are, the better :)

I know, emphasis on one monad rather than monads ;-)
