if I get Category Theory for Programmers Scala edition. How transferable will the concepts of the book be to Kotlin?

Not very because Kotlin lacks kinds, implicits, given/using, and other things that are needed to encode category theory concepts

It still looks like a very interesting read though, but I guess it will end up being an academic pursuit for me then.

If you’re interested in the topic, I’ve written a book called “Functional Programming Ideas for the Curiois Kotliner”, available at Leanpub

I see the book is listed as beta. If I buy it will have access to the final version as well?

Yep

Cool, will pick it up then 🙂
