Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Lambda's functional programming framework.
What is Lambda?
Lambda is a modern functional programming framework that enables declarative data transformations, reactive state management, and efficient function composition. It focuses on purity, immutability, and performance optimization through advanced techniques like lazy evaluation and tail call optimization.
How do I install Lambda?
You can install Lambda via npm:
npm install @lambda/core
Or use the CDN in your HTML:
<script src="/lambda-beta-xi.com/dist/index.js"></script>
How do I create a Lambda function?
Use the createLambda
function:
const myFn = createLambda((x, y) => x + y);
This creates a pure function with automatic currying and type inference.
What are combinators?
Combinators are higher-order functions that enable pattern composition. Lambda includes:
compose(...fns)
- Right-to-left function compositionpipe(value, ...fns)
- Left-to-right function applicationmemoize(fn)
- Caches results for identical inputs
How do I optimize my Lambda expressions?
Lambda provides:
- Tail Call Optimization: Prevent stack overflows in recursive functions
- Lazy Evaluation: Delay computation until necessary
- Parser Optimizations: Auto-simplify complex lambda expressions
