I'm never going to understand the 'mathmatical jargon' argument against Haskell (and similar). Yes, but this can be true in almost any language that allows abstractions. The math jargon is just a name for a concept and I'd prefer math and programming shared terminology where appropriate rather than coming up with an entirely separate vocabulary. Is Functor really works than Mappable? It's just a label for the abstraction and you'll have to learn the underlying concept regardless so you might as well share the same word.
