Made this last year, inspired by @jart's SectorLambda[0] implementation of @tromp's Binary Lambda Calculus[1]. Since then I had an idea of how to translate the language into a 5-instruction "linear" (as opposed to tree-structured) machine code which can be nicely visualized. Finally implemented this idea, resulting in a minimal IDE/debugger. Just published a working version of that[0].

Pretty fun stuff. :D

For any lurkers out there, I just created/published the next, even more extreme iteration of this called λDNA: https://xtao.org/blog/ldna.html

Enjoy.
