lambda lambda lambda

Hey /prog/, I found this last night:

(define (foo) (lambda (g) (((lambda (f) (g (lambda (arg) ((f f) arg))))) (lambda (f) (g (lambda (arg) ((f f) arg)))))))

What does it do and how do I use it?

loeb

lol

>>1
How about some syntax highlighting, faggot?

(define (foo) (lambda (g) (((lambda (f) (g (lambda (arg) ((f f) arg))))) (lambda (f) (g (lambda (arg) ((f f) arg)))))))

Jesus Christ. That is some fucking ENTERPRISE code right there. In fact I think I saw it in the Windows Vista source code.

>>5
Windows uses lisp now?

>>6
Well, a dialect of LISP.

(df(foo)(la(g)(((la(f)(g(la(ar)((f f)ar)))))(la(f)(g(la(arg)((f f)ar)))))))

Please rewrite tht in Haskell.

I can only understand C and javascript

is it just me or that's returns a procedure that can't be applied to shit?

GTFO MY LAMBDA KNIGHTS NAO
>:(

I was at the mall today buying some SICP study aids (tryin' to complete my SICP set) & this kid standing next to me in line at the game shop says "Man, that Scheme s**t is homo, you shouldn't be wasting your faggot cash on some lame fucking s**t crap like that. Fuckin' cocksucker." I turned around, saw no one, then peered down at a child who looked about 10 years old holding many C++ books.

I then got into a debate (for what seemed like 30 minutes or so) on the superiority of Scheme to C++. And at the end he just called me a "fag" and proceeded to punch my in the stomach. I finally crawled on my bruised stomach to a nearby mall cop, and pointed to that snot nosed brat, last I saw of him he was on the mall cops shoulder cying for his mother. Ha...kids..

skrifastreng(;"\"GRUNNUR\""),

If programming languages were Fjölnir keywords…

>>24
Lisp would be "GRUNNUR" because it is at the end of the programming language food chain.
