Well, you somehow got me. When I mentioned the "everything F[_]ed" in my top post I thought I'd made it clear that I knew the commonalities.

And I have to admit that I find these commonalities very fascinating. I can still remember how I enjoyed applicatives and the like when I started with scalaz back then. Whether the model becomes simpler? I do not really know. I just found out for myself that I do not need this knowledge at work and that it didn't really help me to solve my daily problems. This is actually what drove me to Rust which in my perception is a nice practical "in between" (I know it also is no silver bullet).
