RE: Functional Programming is a very different mindset
For me it has already become the next part of my 35 year journey in code, I have even thought about digging deeper into my shallow knowledge of Lambda Calculus and Category Theory, I just wish I had discovered it back when I was starting my journey into C.
I'm happy to discuss any category theory proper questions :)
The real issue I have had digging into Category Theory is that all the lectures are geared around maths, before long they get into topological spaces and rings etc.
I know that I somewhat unfair of me but would love to find lectures that come at it from the angle of say the Hask category, so from the programmer perspective.
From my understanding I can see Category Theory is a real high level abstract tool and as I have not studied that high into formal maths my view into it is code not all the algebraic types :)
I can see the benefits though as it is a great way to reason, so I tend to cross compare lectures to Haskell and work backwards that way lol

Will read over the weekend :)
Nice one
