And I though that Skala, FP (monad in X is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors of X) people are pretentious sect, this is so much worse, given their customer base, I immediately presume that this is nothing more than approach to deliberately make things unintelligible for as many people as possible, so that your white collar hedge fund guy would have heart stroke just by glancing at this source code, not even trying to read or understand it, that is one way to treat people and make business, it is despicable.
