The Lambda Calculus is a tiny symbol manipulation system which suffices to compute anything Turing-computable. Thanks to this expressive power, LC is woven into the DNA of functional programming languages. In this talk, the surprises and delights of LC and related formalisms are demonstrated through the familiar lens of JavaScript.
