Sorry, 2 kind of nitpicky questions/comments.

What exactly do you mean by "wonder series"? Did you mean "wonderful series"? If so, "wonderful" is probably fine, but it might be better to use a more objective description.

I'm a bit hesitant to say "should be easy for non-Haskell programmers to follow". Even introductory category theory and haskell can be a big paradigm shift for people, and I don't want to discourage people or have them feel bad about themselves if they don't easily follow it.

sample code is in Haskell. However only very basic Haskell syntax was
used and thus should be easy for non-Haskell programmers to follow.
