It is capable of expressing any algorithm, and it is this fact that makes the model of functional programming an important one. fredag, 2009 september 18 • Lambda functions originate from lambda calculus which was introduced by Alonzo Church and Stephen Cole Kleene in the 1930s. • The lambda calculus can be thought of as an idealized, minimalistic programming language. It is capable of expressing any algorithm, and it is this fact that makes the model of functional programming an important one. • The lambda calculus provides the model for functional programming. Modern functional languages can be viewed as embellishments to the lambda calculus. fredag, 2009 september 18 fredag, 2009 september 18 • Implementing the lambda calculus on a computer involves treating "functions" as “first‐class objects”, which raises implementation issues for stack-based programming languages. fredag, 2009 september 18 • Implementing the lambda calculus on a computer involves treating "functions" as “first‐class objects”, which raises implementation issues for stack-based programming languages. • Many languages implement lambda functions.
