Syntactically, Dylan is its own beast, kinda verbose and conventionally makes moderate to heavy use of ascii. May 10, 2009 - Turns out, λ is logic free; it is an equational theory (directly quoted from Studies in logic and foundations of mathematics, The Lambda Calculus Its Syntax and Semantics by H.P. The restrictive semantics of Haskell make APIs simple. May 13, 2013 - It doesn't have to be that way for a programming language, we already know that Scheme isn't nearly as bloated as C++, and a core language that's even more strictly based on lambda calculus can be smaller still (e.g. Python claimed to have the lambda calculus as part of the language for years, even though it didn't really. Oct 21, 2011 - One of the purported advantages of the type-logical approach over, say, generative syntax, is the simple interface with semantics coded into a typed lambda calculus or its intensional variants such as Montague logic. I thought of Dylan because it's sort of a fusion of Java and Python semantically, and I somehow missed you were talking more syntax. , and an interpreter for the simply-typed lambda calculus is your FizzBuzz .
