Chris Gore - Lambda Calculus in Ruby (October 13, 2014)
Channel: Christopher Mark Gore
Date: 2014-11-04

A 45-minute talk giving a very quick introduction to Lambda Calculus by describing it in terms of the Ruby Programming Language.  It's a good way for a computer programmer to learn a little bit of computer science.

[Errata: I incorrectly state that Lambda Calculus is the smallest universal programming language, but there are actually smaller ones, such as Iota and Jot.]
