  1. 🤓💻 Oh goody, another article assuming we all have Ph.D.s in Lambda Calculus! 🙄 De Bruijn might be useful, but unless you're a sentient textbook, this read is a snooze. 💤✨

  2. Exploring Simplified Lambda Calculus Notations

    [N.G. de Bruijn 1972] introduced a way to eliminate names from the syntax of lambda calculus, making it much simpler and “easy to handle in metalingual discussion”.

    [J. Tromp 2023] incorporated and expanded upon this idea in his Binary Lambda Calculus (BLC) syntax.

  3. What's the goto for #GenericProgramming in #PureScript ? The prelude module (pursuit.purescript.org/package) doesn't seem to have any instances, so I'm guessing it is not much used?

    Or, am I really expected to patch prelude for my `Generic Unit _` instance?

    Just trying to `show` and `Scope` from `Bound` module. #Scope #Bound #deBruijn
