in reply to Yet Another Perl-to-Lambda-Calculus Translator

Not to be obtuse, but this looks like a great way to obfuscate. :-) I think you could present this at a Perl conference, and everyone would just stand in awe, nobody admitting that they didn't understand what the f*ck this useful for, or even how the code works. :-)

Would you care to give an explanation why this lambda calculator is a useful tool?

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

    Well I just think it's interesting... Just like what the author of Perl Contains the Lambda-Calculus. Actually I'm working on CPS transformation for untyped lambda calculus in Perl and these pieces of code are by-products. Though they seem to fail to please those who are not interested in functional programming...

    Thanks for the reply :D
