Lies, damned lies, and mathematics. - Mark Twain
You know that something is fishy when people start using complex math when they don't need it.
Immutability, no side effects? Yes, when it makes sense. Every smart developer will get to this point eventually.
But category theory everywhere? I call it math envy.
Do you really think that because you are using only pure functions your program will be bug free? More performant? Faster to develop? Easier to maintain?
