You are right on all points.
As for the category theory zealots I have found at work or at conferences, none of them were academics, but rather what I would describe as clueless narcissists overdosed on FP Kool-aid.
- DonaldPShimoda 7y agoAh yeah, that's the unfortunate part of those communities haha. But every community has some of those. :) When you say "conferences", do you mean academic conferences or industry/language-specific conferences? I found that there were plenty of people deep into category theory at ICFP this year (an academic conference), but most of them had very reasonable perspectives on the utility of CT and things to that effect.
