Subject: RE: Applications of (higher) category theory to computer science

The Arbib & Manes text I've got (Arrows, Structures, & Functors) is a
good intro to category theory, and doesn't dive into how it applies to
computer science, as much as I would hope.
I haven't read it, but I'd imagine e.g. Algebraic Approaches to Program
Semantics might be more appropriate.
