Aleph-null (or Aleph-naught or aleph-zero) is the cardinality of the set of natural numbers.

Similaraly to functional programming (which this library is about) Aleph-null has something to do with mathematics (set theory), immutability, and beer:

99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, Take one down, Put it back up, 99 bottles of beer on the wall (repeat).

Logo

The big semi-circle in the logo is Georgian asomtavruli (ასომთავრული) A, aleph that is.
