This is the sanest idea of all, it seems. C++ could easily have a library of build and dependency-tracking classes with a sensible API. Then you could use anything you want in your build "script" that C++ has to offer and not have

A very nice, accessible introduction to category theory.

Too bad most printers today are not capable of interpreting PostScript directly, like they used to back in the day. (Curiously, the microprocessors built into such printers were more powerful than those found in personal computers at the ti

Indeed, category theory is as much about “boxes” and “arrows” as astronomy is about telescopes!

Aren’t all topologists algebraic topologists today?

Heh, except when you wish to talk about "natural equivalence"!

I think graph theory covers all this at a reasonable level of abstraction.

But how do you know (being a theorist)?

Sure, but what does the knowledge of something being an adjoint give you?

Actually, it is weird to see groups mentioned in this discussion at all. Non-commutative (generally) groups are useful in dealing with symmetries, but what symmetries can we talk about here? Abelian groups (and modules in general), on the o
