Perhaps I'm missing something, but: did they link to a page about doing recursion in C++ to explain the concept of a Y Combinator? (http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson16.html http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson16.html) . For better explanations, this is sort of from The Little Schemer: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~sweirich/cse340/04/why_of_y.ps http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~sweirich/cse340/04/why_of_y.ps This is also good: http://www.dreamsongs.com/Files/WhyOfY.pdf http://www.dreamsongs.com/Files/WhyOfY.pdf
