Made this last year, inspired by @jart&#x27;s SectorLambda[0] implementation of @tromp&#x27;s Binary Lambda Calculus[1]. Since then I had an idea of how to translate the language into a 5-instruction &quot;linear&quot; (as opposed to tree-structured) machine code which can be nicely visualized. Finally implemented this idea, resulting in a minimal IDE&#x2F;debugger. Just published a working version of that[0].<p>Pretty fun stuff. :D<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;justine.lol&#x2F;lambda&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;justine.lol&#x2F;lambda&#x2F;</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tromp.github.io&#x2F;cl&#x2F;Binary_lambda_calculus.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tromp.github.io&#x2F;cl&#x2F;Binary_lambda_calculus.html</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xtao.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;nukleus.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;xtao.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;nukleus.html</a>
