the biggest trouble in writing code...

is not with algorithms; there's hardly any algorithm that is hard to implement, once it's clearly formulated.
And it is probably not even performance, since it is another algorithm issue.

It is our struggle with monads. With monads that don't commute.

That's what makes Haskell so good (and so hard): it makes us to mention monads explicitly.

Or maybe

Care to elaborate? With all due respect to monads, I've no idea what you mean.
