That's fair. Although Haskell is a bit of an odd man out in that list, both in terms of its nature and in terms of its typical use case.

This is where the analogy between the two books breaks down. When you're using a functional programming language as a proof assistant, category theory can be helpful. But this is far less common than meta-programming.
