I only read the first section on monotone fixed points. A real pleasure. Nothing new, but the key ideas explained in simple yet precise terms and examples. It really makes me want to read more.

The intro is nice and easy and then it really jumps into some detailed PL theory that I couldn't quite grok. why do papers so often do this? start like a leisurely stroll and-BAM! "discrete comonads". Guess as a non-expert I'm not quite the target audience.

Yeah cat theory jargon always makes me gape. I should revisit some of Spivak’s work directed at teaching cat theory to programmers, if only to know how this thesis does what it does.

I've been interested in datalog for a while, and this is giving me a reason to get my hands dirty finally. It's really well written so far.
