Before Python. Before C. Before we even had general-purpose electronic computers, mathematicians were already asking: what does it mean to compute? That question gave us lambda calculus, and eventually Lisp, ML, Haskell, and an entirely different way of thinking about programs. This Wednesday, we’re opening that door. A little computing history, a little lambda calculus, some Haskell, and a bunch of ideas that might change how you look at code. Come curious.
