Maybe because "composing functions" is the whole point of category theory, monads and Haskell?
- klodolph 5y agoThe point of category theory is composing morphisms! Functions are morphisms in the Set category. Haskell has something which looks very similar to category theory, but the functions and types in Haskell do not form a category. I would call it “category theory inspired”.
- linkdd 5y agoThank you for the clarification. But still, since it's all about composition, the simplicity is a direct consequence IMHO.
