I remember finding this while exploring Haskell, some years ago:

And thinking: Ah, I get it, it's a joke: they know they are considered
a bunch of strangely mathematically-influenced developers, but they
have a sense of humor and know how to be tongue-in-cheek and have
gentle fun at themselves. (My strange free association was: Zygo =>
zygomatics muscle => smile & laughter => joke).
That actually got me interested in Haskell:)
But, apparently, I was all wrong;-)
Well, not /all/ wrong.

It got me reading entire books on
category theory and type theory, though.
That's a lot of fun in any case. =)
