There are monad libraries for clojure https://github.com/funcool/cats, but they are more niche
Monads for Clojure Programmers

You can have monads in clojure (eg: http://funcool.github.io/cats/latest/#monad) but the problem I see is that they are infectious and kinda force you to use them everywhere. In other languages, it's more palatable because the compiler checks for types, and normally there is some sugar to make it easier on the eyes.
Starting out with a Typescript role, any killer library recommendations I should know about?

Oh yeah, I usually find a similar library when I'm writing a program; e.g. funcool/cats in clojure
