AttaLambda
A small programming language built on pure, untyped lambda calculus
Visit attalambda.com ↗What is AttaLambda?
AttaLambda is a Lisp-shaped language where all computation derives from untyped lambda calculus—including logic, arithmetic, data structures, control flow, and types themselves. It provides readable syntax, exact rational arithmetic using binary digit-list encodings, and runtime type checks. The maker reports using AI coding agents to help develop it into a usable tool.
The language is designed for exploring lambda calculus beyond introductory examples. A minimal Racket layer handles I/O and host interaction, while macros add syntactic convenience. It targets developers and students interested in functional programming foundations and language design.
