The Lord of the Lambdas
02nd of February 2008
Abelson et al., The Revised Revised Report on Scheme: »The Lord of the Lambdas«:
Data and procedures and the values they amass, Higher-order functions to combine and mix and match, Objects with their local state, the messages they pass, A property, a package, the control point for a catch– In the Lambda Order they are all first-class. One Thing to name them all, One Thing to define them, One Thing to place them in environments and bind them, In the Lambda Order they are all first-class.
Quite old, but worth to quote.
