And you definitely don't need to learn category theory or know anything about it to start writing programs in Haskell or to maintain and build large Haskell applications.
A lot of category theory is fun to learn and knowing it will help you in many ways but it is not a necessary requirement. I mention this because a lot of people seem to think it is.
Definitely a nice article for the math-oriented/curious/etc! It's neat seeing what Haskell isn't in order to understand better what it is.
