The long and winding road... to a master thesis
7 min
From the very start of my thesis, the key idea was to find a lambda calculus with explicit substitutions, indexes, and all the good properties (I refer the reader to all previous posts). In particular, having in mind a recent work from Delia Kesner

Making a thesis
3 min
In all previous posts I've tried to teach the different aspects inside my thesis. But after going deeper and deeper, the concepts tend to complicate too much, and much more dedication from the reader is needed. After trying to add another technical...

Different properties one can expect from any λ-calculus
3 min
In this post I will show two different sets of properties that any variation of λ-calculus with explicit substitutions may or must have. The must: 1) Any substitution must end, i. e. the process of change a variable by a term must always end, no matter...

Explicit Substitutions, or Substitutions If You Need to Implement Them
3 min
As I told you before, performance is something desirable when programming a λ interpreter. The sustitutions we saw are made in one step. I will note the beta step as →β and a substitution step as →. For instance, (λx.x) z →β x[x/z] → z. The computations...

And now for something completely different
10 min
With this cite of Monthy Python, I will move into another family of calculi. What's wrong with our good ol' λ-calculus? Nearly nothing, except if you want to implement it in a real PC. In one of the firsts posts I've mentioned the α-congruence. The...
