> I see http_client as existing in a Reader monad that contains an allocator and an IO interface. This is exactly how the IO monad (and for that matter IO#) works in Haskell. The fact that the Zig people came up with this independantly speaks not just to the universal nature of monads (and the algebraic structures of programming languages)

Honestly this sounds like monad bullshit. That's a struct/class/ADT/whatever you want to call it, they existed since forever. The only idea Zig had was that maybe we shouldn't make them global instances.
