Java-Like Names for Functional Programming

I realise all this stuff comes from Haskell and people who love category theory, but I strongly suggest that to gain better acceptance you drop the conventional FP names for things and use more appropriate names that are less jargon-y and more Java-like: Monoid -> Combinable Functor -> Mappable etc

A screenshot of a comment suggesting that functional-programming concepts use simpler, Java-like names instead of conventional category-theory jargon. The joke is that Monoid becomes “Combinable” and Functor becomes “Mappable,” poking fun at attempts to make functional programming more approachable while also mocking Java-style naming conventions.
