vidarh discovered 6 months ago- The page proudly announce "Yu can get soup in a can. You can get bread in a can. Now the long wait is over! You can finally get Lambda Calculus in a can." It's a crazy exercise in putting a microcontroller in a can and loading it with software to reduce lambda expressions, which you can interface with via USB in order to do lambda calculus slower than an early 80's home computer, in case you thought your PC is too fast...

- Project LambdaCan is an amusing exercise in absurdity. It implements a reducer (interpreter) for the Lambda Calculus, a formal system (programming language) developed by Alonzo Church in the 1930's to attack the deepest mathematical problem of the day.
Of course, the extreme overhead involved in supporting the painfully abstract Lambda Calculus notation makes LambdaCan struggle to compute arithmetic as simple as 11 + 12 = 23. - Project LambdaCan is an amusing exercise in absurdity.
