The Lambda Calculus. Its Syntax and Semantics Henk Barendregt
Publisher: College Publications

The restrictive semantics of Haskell make APIs simple. Apr 8, 2013 - As a side note, I've noticed through my ever-growing teaching experiences that one of the main things new programming students struggle with (specifically, after mastering the syntax and semantics of basic language constructs) is keeping their types straight. The technique is called currying, and the idea stems from the lambda calculus, in which we can model all computation using just functions (with a single argument) as objects, and function application. It's It's pure syntax, no semantics. Jan 28, 2007 - Although Lisp was not based on an effort to model that formalism, lambda plays approximately the same role in Lisp as it does in the lambda calculus: lambda is the syntax for a function-valued expression. Where you can see two lambdas arranged into a double helix. Mar 7, 2014 - Subsequently, game-semantic techniques led to the development of the first syntax-independent fully-abstract models for a variety of programming languages, ranging from the purely functional to languages effects such as control, Nowadays, game semantics has expanded to a variety of fields in theory and analysis of computation, such as theories of concurrency, semantics of lambda calculi and proofs, program analysis, model checking and hardware synthesis.

And API Their extensive usage of DSLs, natural syntax and small size (<1MB) has already contributed a lot to the "throw away shit" movement. 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. (Although, if you want, then you can decorate arrows of molecules and interpret the decoration as representing signals flowing through gates.
