What's wrong with the names is that they don't communicate very well to the 95%+ of programmers who aren't in the FP/Haskell world. That's most of the people who are going to try to use it on C++.

I mean, some concepts are clearly not able to be explained to the layman; you need some background. But do people really need to learn abstract algebra to be able to get their heads around this stuff? Are there no better terms that communicate to more people?

And, given that that's the problem, clearly dog breeds are not the answer either.
