## AI overview

An approachable introduction to a functional JavaScript design pattern for binding functions. It explains wrapped values, bindable functions, and how the pattern can safely compose operations such as handling nullable values.

## Source excerpt

Ok, ok, monads have been done. They've even been done by me before. But, functional programming is still popular, monads are still very useful for programming in an FP style, and people are entering the field every day. So here's another attempt at an approachable introduction to usefully apply this pattern to everyday coding problems.
