Lambda (uppercase Λ, lowercase λ) is the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 30. Letters that arose from Lambda include the Roman L and the Cyrillic letter El (Л, л).

This thread lacks suave. You can help it by adding trace amounts of Lisp.

Lambda BBCode abstraction is a way to write programs down using pure enterprise quality Church numerals, professional AJAX β-reduction and having a nice cup of read the fucking Wikipedia.

makes anonymous functions.
there's probably some complicated explanation about pure maths and lamdba calculus and formal logic too.

lambda binds variables to values, nothing more.

"What exactly is Lambda?"
No, they are two completely different things.

lambda is useless abstraction.

It's something you can make with the S and K combinators.

Asshole, you fucked it up. SKI combinatoric logic is
Sx → x
Ixy → x (so-called identifier function)
Kxyz → xz(yz)
And it is based on λ-calculus, not equal to it.

you idiot! I is just syntactic sugar for SKK. >>12 was defining lambda, which is also just syntactic sugar. also, lambda calculus is based on SKI combinator calculus, not the other way around.

Oh yeah, excuse me, I totally forgot that we are on a Serious Board of Enterprise Development Professional Solutions.
Also, SK basis is inferior to IBCS, and anyone who uses SK (with this disguisting «syntactic sugar» so-called Identity function) in 2007 is a crap-eating moron incapable of anything.

Fucking idiot, SKI is not based on λ calculus.

Oh yeah? And what is it based on then? Pointer arithmetic or intel-based calculator calculus? Be sure to finish elementary school before joining the discussion betweeen highschool students.

SKI Combinator calculus is a computational system, on which Lambda calculus operations are based. Be sure to shut the fuck up.
