Advancements in Functional Programming and Category Theory

This chapter examines recent innovations in functional programming and category theory as applied to databases, particularly through the work of a San Francisco-based company. It discusses the impact of category theory on data modeling and explores developments in dependent type languages like Idris and Agda, including new tools that improve usability. The conversation also highlights the contributions of Haskell consultancies and the growth of online communities focused on programming languages.
