Composition Intuition by Conor Hoekstra | Lambda Days 2023
✨This talk was recorded at Lambda Days 2023. If you're curious about our upcoming event, check https://lambdadays.org ✨ Conor Hoekstra, Research Scientist, NVIDIA: Most people think of function composition as composing two unary functions together (the B combinator). However, this is only the tip of the proverbial "function composition" iceberg. This talk will be both an introduction and an overview of the world of combinatory logic and combinators. If you have ever wondered what the S, Phi, Psi, or B1 combinators are and why they are so useful, this is the talk for you. And even if you have never wondered that - I promise this talk will be worth your time. It will expand the limits of what you thought was possible with programming languages and give you the tools and knowledge to use combinators in your choice of programming language.
