Talk:Unlambda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think the article page should mention two things:
- that Unlambda had a great impact on a number of esoteric programming languages, and - that Unlambda is _not_ very pure, as a functional programming language.

- Please specify your points. What kind of impact on which languages and why is it not pure? You're free to add these straight in to the article yourself too... --ZeroOne 15:52, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

dandcare impure. -- Dominus 15:51, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Hey, nice work on rewriting the article, Dominus. :) I don't know any Unlambda myself but I'm willing to learn so this was a huge improvement. Could you check this sentence in the fifth paragraph: "i represents the version of the identity function that has no such side effectl it is used here as a summy argument". You've obviously got a typo there but I don't know what it is supposed to say. :/ Please also add some headings, the text is now in a rather cumbersome junk. A list of all the commands in Unlambda with short descriptions would be nice at some point. --ZeroOne 15:52, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks; fixed. --Dominus 15:51, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- It's still not especially good in my opinion. --67.172.99.160 20:13, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

- How unfortunate you have not been granted access to change it for the better, then. -- Dominus 14:52, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Is there a connection between Unlambda and SKI combinator calculus? --Jesse Ruderman
- Yes. -- Dominus 04:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
