Tangent: I like that the logo for the organization 'adjoint' resembles the notation for adjoint functors.

  Likewise! Looks like it was intentional: > Our name comes from advanced mathematics and represents the numerous ways in which we simplify financial processes and products using blockchain technology. (https://www.adjoint.io/about/adjoint https://www.adjoint.io/about/adjoint)

    It was very intentional.

    Just out of curiosity, do you actually use adjunctions? If so I would be really happy to know more about it.

    Ugh, I'm cringing a little that they consider adjunctions 'advanced mathematics'. Adjunctions are ubiquitous even in elementary math. For example, in linear algebra whenever one writes down a matrix to represent a operator in some basis, this is using the tensor-hom adjunctions for modules.
