Ryan Wisnesky presents a database query language based on category theory and functors, developed with David Spivak.

Ryan Wisnesky came out to give us a talk at Boston Haskell on April 16th, 2014 based on joint work with David Spivak on new ways to think about data and databases using category theory, along with a new tool they have been building to put these ideas into practice.

One interesting (although niche) topic is categorical databases - using the language of category theory to talk about database schemas and queries. link to this video link to this video
