Update: Apologies to anyone who's sensibilities were offended by the claim that A++ is a "purely functional" language. Lambda Calculus - "An Introduction To Functional Programming Through Lambda Calculus" (WorldCat) by Greg Michaelson Importance: Lambda calculus is the basis of functional programming. I came across a link to the slides for Xavier Leroy's course on Functional programming languages this weekend and have been slowly making my way through them. After doing my initial pass at Haskell, I was consumed with the curiosity to find out what drives “Functional Programming”, and the answer “Lambda Calculus”. Examples include Selinger's In the same way, as concerns the logic part, we need (say, if we are interested in a quantum lambda calculus) an abstraction an an application operations (like in lambda calculus) which interact well with the algebraic structure. There is one This is the “emergent algebra” point of view, introduced in arXiv:0907.1520 . An Introduction to Functional Programming Through Lambda Calculus by Greg Michaelson Download An Introduction to Functional Programming Through Lambda Calculus An Introduction to. In mathematical logic and computer science, lambda calculus, also written as λ-calculus, is a formal system for function definition, function application and recursion. The quine requirement seems to me to introduce non-productive complexity. I've always thought they were interesting and powerful and fun to program with. Efforts are underway to develop functional programming languages for quantum computing. If file reading My experience with functional programming does not allow for any inspection into a lambda except by experimentation, whereas "passing the source code" implies more direct knowledge of its internals. You may be interested in how Racket handles time (especially the (current-milliseconds) function), threads (in particular, “thread”, “kill-thread”, “sleep”, and “thread-dead? While the only thing (with the exceptions mentioned below) you can really manipulate with A++ The addition that A++ makes to lambda calculus is the ability to explicitly assign names to objects (functions or values), something which lambda calculus only supports through binding via function calls. So, it behooves of me to at least get a glimpse of what it really is!
