Monads in JavaScript
Many IO functions in Haskell use what is known as "lazy I/O", so no, monads are not particularly to do with order of evaluation.

Rather, monads are a conceptual structure into which I/O happens to fi t.

That because IO implies explicit order, Monad as an ADT has been used to explicitly evaluate one expression at a time. It has no "magic" or "special mathematical" properties.
