Review: Pulls functors into the mainstream - A huge improvement over all the other category theory books where all the examples are from 20th century pure math and all the morphisms are functions. Especially the last chapter.
Review: Composition Theory - Category Theorists often joke that they work on Abstract nonsense but really what they work on is the study of compositionality which shows up computational graphs like circuits and neural networks and mathematical proofs. Learning Category Theory is a lot like learning programming, you’ll be able to express proofs in a much more succinct way after investing some time learning the new opaque terminology.

*by J***A on August 13, 2019*

The book is wonderful but, why do even pages have the margin on the left making the lines in those pages to almost get into the spine?
