I hate to sound like a total newbie, but can anyone give me the 10 second run down on category theory and why it keeps coming up on functional programming mailing lists? It seems like a new model or approach, similar to lambda calculus or monads. I peeked at Wikipedia, but it didn't help me get the big picture. Does category theory apply to all the functional programming languages, or is it just something happening in, say, Haskell or Scala?
I apologize if this has been covered before. Thanks, -jj -- In this life we cannot do great things.
