Listen in to learn why Esko and Antti – both of whom started programming with dynamically typed languages – are so into category theory right now that they see applications of it everywhere.GuestAntti Holvikari is endlessly fascinated by pure functional programming languages such as Haskell and PureScript. Software quality and personal productivity are two things he’s constantly improving.HostEsko Lahti is an engineer who always wanted to learn about category theory in practice – but never knew where to start.
