I challenge you to show me one!
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoIf I knew of a decent search function for HN comments, I could show you several. As it is, I can only offer my memory of what I have read in the comments here. My impression is that Haskell "experts" here say some variant of "of course all this is obvious because category theory" (implying "you have to know category theory or you're an uneducated heathen") at least three times as often as they say "you don't really need to know category theory".
