Edit: The OP expanded that the post was about the linked article... now my comment doesn't make too much sense.

If you say that about Milewki's talks then I don't agree. He does use Haskell notation a lot, but gives C examples as well and most of his arguments are based in category theory/general programming.

Anyway, I think that the series of talks linked in the GP are a must watch. Even for people that don't fully agree with the viewpoint of Category Theory being a "holly grail" the videos do provide a different point of understanding.

"Milewki's talks"? Don't know what he or that is. Nope, I was just trying to say, the linked article "Monadic I/O and Unix shell programming" was about Haskell (and Unix pipelines), and maybe I should have known that from the title, but didn't. And I had to stop reading after 2 lines because it assumed Haskell familiarity.

edit: Didn't see edited comment you mentioned until after I wrote that. Thanks.
