They would have to start by actually following the monad laws though... Just spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to write a `sequence` function to avoid deeply nested and completely unnecessary `then` callbacks. Turns out there's some kind of global state going on so it's never going to work, just great...

If you define a function called foo
```
function foo(actions) {
const [action, ...rest] = actions;
action.then(x => cy.log(x));
}
```
and then call it like this
```
const list = [cy.wrap(7), cy.wrap(8)];
const nine = cy.wrap(9);
foo(list);
```
You would expect 7 to get logged -- but nope, 9 does… Makes no sense whatsoever, just prevents any kind of user-defined abstraction. What utter garbage

Cypress would be so much easier if it came with basic monad combinators and do-notation. Seriously considering prototyping a PureScript wrapper…
