Unlambda Description

Unlambda is a unique programming language that may not initially seem extraordinary. However, its true innovation lies in its unconventional blend of two lesser-known types of languages. It draws heavily from functional programming languages, particularly exemplified by Scheme, a dialect of Lisp. In Unlambda, the primary focus is solely on functions, which serve as the only objects manipulated within the language. Essentially, every function in Unlambda takes another function as its input and yields a function as its output. Besides a binary “apply” operation, the language incorporates a few essential built-in functions, notably the K and S combinators. While users can create their own functions, they lack the ability to save or name them, as Unlambda operates without any variables. This distinctive characteristic sets Unlambda apart in the realm of programming languages. Consequently, the absence of traditional variable storage reinforces the purity of its functional programming paradigm.
