   Format: MarkdownItexFrom <a href="http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/486850/usages-of-exponential-objects-in-categories">this question</a>: What are usages of exponential objects (as in the definition of cartesian closed category) in categories outside of the fields of logic and programming? Yestarday/today I've proved that certain category introduced by me has small limits. I strongly feel that it also has exponentiation. But what utility would it have if I also prove it has exponential objects?

   From this question:

   What are usages of exponential objects (as in the definition of cartesian closed category) in categories outside of the fields of logic and programming?

   Yestarday/today I’ve proved that certain category introduced by me has small limits. I strongly feel that it also has exponentiation.

   But what utility would it have if I also prove it has exponential objects?
