The one problem with learning category theory and functional programming deeply is that you just stop making sense to like 95% of the population.
I’m sitting here with my multi-agent system library I’m building and I’m like yup the step is just a Kleisli arrow and that is why JAX lax scans work on this system!
Also, LLMs fuck up with this type of code all the time, especially if you run it in Python which is not trained on functional programming.
It is like hella useful if you’re a shape rotator though as you can just couple arrows in your head and good stuff happens. (if someone knows about models fine-tuned for functional programming, I would be very happy.)
(Some random math + programming reflection to distract you from the mildly world-changing happenings in AI governance :) )
