The problem is that category theory is "elitist", i.e. most programmers aren't equipped to comprehend even the basics properly if they didn't study theoretical computer science, computability theory, recursion theory etc. or even philosophy :-(

The problem is that 99.9% of the material about Category Theory in existence just forget to talk about two features of it: what is it useful for, and how it relates to mode widely known concepts, like functions.
Haskell is accessible. Just ignore the monad tutorials.
