Its crazy that this idea was invented in 1975[0], and I haven't heard of it, even after:
- 4 years of self learned programming
- 4 years of university for computer engineering
- 5 years in the industry, as a software engineer

- dreamcompiler 10y agoThere are two very different (yet of course functionally equivalent) paradigms for general computation: Turing Machines and Lambda Calculus (Turing vs. Church). All schools teach TMs but not all teach LC. Which is a shame, because some wonderful insights like Functional Programming and Lisp and CPS come mostly from the LC paradigm.
