From Lambda Calculus to Lifelong Learning
About a decade ago, whilst meandering through a late-night Wikipedia rabbit holeSome things haven’t changed at all, I stumbled across the page for the Lambda Calculus.
A small footnote linked to An Introduction to Lambda Calculus and Scheme, a transcript of a short talk presented by Jim Larson, and, well, I fell in love. I loved the fact that there was this beautiful correspondence between foundational mathematics and models of computation; and that you could describe it through these symbolic wrappers called Lambda terms. There was something deep and abstract about it that I felt immensely drawn to.
