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.

i love the language, but come on

“Simple” is just a point of view.

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

Haskell goes for the “simple code” approach.
