The Lambda Calculus. Its Syntax and Semantics Henk Barendregt

Apr 3, 2013 - Lambda Calculus Synopsis. July 1, 2013 at 2:54 PM · Kevin said btw, Y might be Io, at least in terms of syntax. And API Their extensive usage of DSLs, natural syntax and small size (<1MB) has already contributed a lot to the "throw away shit" movement. The scare quotes are included because the formal semantics of the λ -calculus falls beyond the scope of the present article. Jul 1, 2013 - Lisp includes both syntax and semantics, and a lot of people want nicer (read: more useful) syntax and they don't like its default semantics. May 13, 2013 - It doesn't have to be that way for a programming language, we already know that Scheme isn't nearly as bloated as C++, and a core language that's even more strictly based on lambda calculus can be smaller still (e.g. In order to proceed properly, we must define the alphabet and syntax of our language and then the rules for forming and manipulating well-formed formulas in this language. At its most basic level, the λ -calculus is a formal system with a concrete syntax and distinct reduction rules. But Haskell is not a skin on Lisp (which in turn is a skin on the untyped Lambda calculus), but builds on the typed Lambda calculus, i.e. Jun 3, 2011 - The Untyped Lambda Calculus. Dec 6, 2012 - We present the lambda-bar-mu-mu-tilde, a syntax for lambda-calculus + control operators exhibiting symmetries such as program/context and call-by-name/call-by-value. Isomorphism between the models is besides the point. Represents a different family of functional approaches. The restrictive semantics of Haskell make APIs simple. Http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.0558.
