It turns out that there was a missing CLR (there are actually quite a few new CLRs not listed but this is a topic for another time). In my previous post I raised the question of a possible missing CLR on MSDN's Master Data Services CLR Functions page. Chief among these languages or programming approaches is functional programming. Abstract: We address a problem connected to the unfolding semantics of functional programming languages: give a useful characterization of those infinite lambda-terms that are lambda_{letrec}-expressible in the sense that they arise as infinite unfoldings of terms in lambda_{letrec}, the lambda-calculus with letrec. So, let's continue our journey of brain-exploding theoretical foundational In fundamentalist functional programming the above is the most useless type for a function: it takes nothing and produces nothing, hence all those guys can be compiled away, right? A while back, I blogged about (Mis)using C# 4.0 Dynamic – Type-Free Lambda Calculus, Church Numerals, and more which was a fun post and got some good feedback and solid reading numbers. [1] Functional programming has its roots in lambda calculus, a formal system developed in the 1930s to investigate computability, the Entscheidungsproblem, function definition, function application, and recursion. A program in a functional language such as Haskell or Miranda consists of equations which are both computation rules and a basis for simple algebraic reasoning about the functions and data structures “In cooperation with other men[ Godel, Turing, von Neuman] Alonzo Church developed a formal system called lambda calculus. We provide two characterizations, using concepts we introduce for infinite lambda-terms: regularity, strong regularity, and binding-capturing chains. There has been explosion of software development languages in recent years. €�The driving idea of functional programming is to make programming more closely related to mathematics.
