Pedagogical Downsides of Haskell
F# calls them Computation Expressions which is far more approachable imo

That sounds almost as vague to me as “object” does in OOP. Don’t non-monadic functions also consist of expressions that describe computations?

Everything is vague. Hell, Haskell functions are not really functions in the mathematical sense.

To me, “computation expression” is significantly more vague than “function” is in Haskell. “Seq” as was suggested by someone else here seems clearer. But I would genuinely be happy to understand the F# point of view on this better.
