Aug 11, 2019 at 12:41 comment added Giorgio Mossa (continue) basically for those author a triple should be something like a monad for haskellers while a monad is just a monoid in a category of endofunctors.
Aug 11, 2019 at 12:38 comment added Giorgio Mossa I think that some authors use the term triple for a different presentation of monad. For these authors a triple is not a functor but an object functions with some additional morphisms parameterized by objects. Between these authors there are Moggi and Linton if I am not mistaken.

Aug 11, 2019 at 2:00 comment added David Roberts My guess about the broken link is that it is to the email of Ross Street to the categories mailing list (dated 03 Nov 2007) starting with the sentence "History can be harder than mathematics.", available from mta.ca/~cat-dist/archive/2007/07-11 There was a lot of discussion about history in that email thread, and not 100% agreement on events from the 1960s (CT had a poor publication record at the time, due to the lack of dedicated journals, so results percolated via conference proceedings/abstracts, discussions etc. I think few people saw it then as a field of research)

Aug 10, 2019 at 20:31 comment added Todd Trimble Surely a kind of back-formation from monoid? Coupled perhaps with the love of purloining terms from philosophy. I don't know that it needed more than one event, namely the recognition that a monad is a monoid in a category of endofunctors, like his book says.
