Over the past ~25 years there has been a concerted effort to use the tools of category theory (a branch of mathematics) to develop unambiguous diagrammatic languages, and this paper is a good example of the results of that effort. I’m personally quite intrigued by where this could go, but there’s still a lot of work to do before it revolutionizes the way code is written.
