Hello all Some of you in the audience may have read Dave Keenan's paper, [To Dissect a Mockingbird][]. A subset of that may have wondered if it was possible to generate those pretty pictures programmatically. For that subset, I can answer to you -- yes, yes you can. [To Dissect a Mockingbird]: http://dkeenan.com/Lambda/ Sylvia is a lambda calculus visualizer. It takes in an expression in the untyped lambda calculus and spits out a pretty picture. This is still in very early alpha, but it renders a fair number of combinators correctly. I plan to add animated reduction (once I figure out how to do it), and eventually develop this into a sandbox game of some sort. I'm hoping to get some comments and ideas on how I can take it from here.
