# Lambda
A simple lambda calculus evaluator. Its just a bunch of functions you define and use as data and pass into other functions.
## How to install
```
git clone https://github.com/lisk77/lambda && cd lambda
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
```
## How to use
Write your code into a file and pipe it into the binary
```
cat file | lambda
```
or just echo the code directly
```
echo "main = \\ x . x;" | lambda
```
### Syntax
Lambda expression
```
\ param1 param2 param3 ... param3 . body
```
Name definition
```
identifier = lambda expression | identifier;
```
For a file to be able to be run, it needs to define a `main` function.
## Future ideas
- [ ] types
- [ ] imports
- [ ] small standard library
