You are absolutely correct, because there is a great Scala library called "Cats"! https://typelevel.org/cats/

Thank you! Karen's illustrations are indeed wonderful. And thanks for the tip re SVG. The originals are large raster images and the JPGs with lossy compression seem to be much smaller than a PNG embedded within a SVG. I'm open to suggestions though. The printed book will use the uncompressed images of course. :)

Thanks for that feedback. I will adjust the CSS.

Aww I'm touched! But no need, this is not my main account and I only use it for this book, while I see you have a lot of history already. But thank you!

Thank you! I agree that cats are an underserved demographic! P.S. Tell your girlfriend to buy you the book for your birthday :)

Yes, of course :) It reads "To deal with concurrency issues, you may be tempted to experiment with multiple threads. Do not do this. You will end up with some regrettable racing conditions and then a terrible tangle."

That's an excellent plan :)
