- cess11 2y agoWhy?
- klysm 2y agoCategory theory is equivalent to type theory.
- iLemming 2y agoIt's probably more accurate to say that they are complementary rather than equivalent. - Category theory emphasizes morphisms and composition - Type theory emphasizes terms and computation There are important correspondences between them (like the Curry-Howard-Lambek correspondence), but they have different strengths and different ways of expressing concepts. Sorry, I couldn't resist the temptation of being a pedantic formalist.
