Lambda (λ) Calculus For Javascript Developers

This article aims at explaining lambda calculus in a more approachable less 'mathy' manner.

Terms That Are Good To Know

• Memoization: Memoization is an optimization technique used primarily to speed up computer programs by caching the result of expensive function calls and returning the cached result when fed with the same input.

• Pure Function: A pure function is a function whose computation does not depend on globally declared variables, it does no I/O or mutations. All it does is return a value after doing a bunch of computations on the arguments it recieves. For a given set of arguments, a pure function will always return the same value. Thus, a pure function is one that is memoizable.

Vim Script for Python Developers

A guide to Vim Script development for Python developers. Sample code for the various expressions, statements, functions and programming constructs is shown in both Python and Vim Script. This is not intended to be a tutorial for developing Vim scripts. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with programming in Python.

For an introduction to Vim Script development, refer to usr_41.txt, eval.txt and Learn Vimscript the Hard Way

For a similar guide for JavaScript developers, refer to Vim Script for the JavaScripter

This guide only describes the programming constructs that are present in both Python and Vim. The constructs that are unique to Vim (e.g. autocommands, key-mapping, [abbrevi
