  main :: (RealWorld ->) ((), RealWorld)

I've been doing haskell for a few months now. I don't think I have ever seen a expression like this. It looks like State. Is this even valid syntactically? I'm Probably bikeshedding.

The Haskell snippet included is basically gibberish. It’s best to ignore it.

Has it been removed? I don't see any Haskell in the article.

It's still there as far as I can see, it's in an image[0]. I believe their intention is to show a kind of pseudo-desugaring of what the IO monad actually does internally.

Ah yes, just goes to show I ignore images in articles!

Looks like it has been removed, yes.

Actually no it hasn't. I think I'm just blind occasionally.
