Hi Daniela,

are you planning to write any example about Category Theory in the book?

Thank you,

Ubaldo

Hi Upe Fisherman,
I do plan to mention some Category Theory's principles as the reason of why things are designed in a certain way in Scala.

I'd love to properly discuss Category Theory, but I am afraid this is a pretty advanced topic that is out of scope for the book: you do not need to know category theory to be a good Scala developer.

Cheers,
Daniela
