How is Category theory useful in programming?
>>
>>54722991
no one actually programs here
>>
>>54722991
It's mostly useful for toying around with the concept in its complete environment before you use some of it in productive multi-paradigm languages
>>
It helps you in thinking on how to solve problems

>>54723279
Can you provide examples?

>>54723278
Do any of you know where to learn basic category theory at?

I provided this series of answers last time I was asked a similar question.

I hope you find something of use in them.

Category theory lets you describe simple things in pretentious ways. They're the "ackchyually" guys of mathematics.

Simplify the language, get complex code.
Simplify the code, need a complex language.
