For anyone wondering how this is useful outside of programming and/or looking for an easier introduction, check out Category Theory for the Sciences [1]. There are free digital versions on Github, too [2]. Here's the reasoning given by the author: "Information is inherently dynamic; the same ideas can be organized and reorganized in countless ways, and the ability to translate between such organizational structures is becoming increasingly important in the sciences. Category theory offers a unifying framework for information modeling that can facilitate the translation of knowledge between disciplines."
