In order to proceed properly, we must define the alphabet and syntax of our language and then the rules for forming and manipulating well-formed formulas in this language. At its most basic level, the λ -calculus is a formal system with a concrete syntax and distinct reduction rules. , and an interpreter for the simply-typed lambda calculus is your FizzBuzz .
