Since Scala is a hybrid language, you can still program in it and do things as you would do in Java, for example. You will see common patterns emerging, such as seen a `map` method on List, Option, Try, etc.. Now, you could ask yourself "What is this pattern and why do I see it everywhere?", or you can just continue with your life being satisfied with what you know today, and no harm will be done.

I've been doing Scala for the past two years, and the amount of things I've learned feels amazing. I've watched (and still am watching) Bartosz Milewskis "Category Theory for Programmers" which takes you from the very fundamentals of CT all the way to things like Adjunctions and Kan Extensions. I find it fascinating.
