@jer_gib@functional.cafe I like category theory as much as the next Haskeller, but I really can't fault anyone for thinking the applications sound underwhelming compared to all the theory from the rest of the book they'd have to learn first. Is it a didactic choice to focus more on the theory, or do you think the theory itself is not developed enough to fully explain programs like the game snake, a sudoku solver, a text editor, a web server, etc.?
