  Jim Weirich was an excellent speaker, and this was one of his best presentations. I thought his method of building up to the purpose of combinators (not just the Y) was much better than just an explanation. He references [1] (note url change) which does something similar and is also a good read/view. [1] - http://codon.com/programming-with-nothing http://codon.com/programming-with-nothing

  I loved that talk. I found this lecture also instructive (not as entertaining as Jim's though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWkiO-F6X5E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWkiO-F6X5E
