[Haskell-cafe] category design approach for inconvenient concepts

[Mark Flamer]

I have also become intrigued and confused by this "category theory" and how
it relates to Haskell. It has been stated many times that you don't need to
understand category theory to utilize the Haskell language but all the
concepts, patterns and every paper describing them seems to be written by
someone who understands it. It really appears that to "innovate" in this
community it helps to at least have a basic understanding of the theory. I
have started working through this book "Conceptual Mathematics, A first
introduction to categories" and so far it seems very understandable and
interesting for mere mortals like myself.
