Is there any good introductory info on K lambda? I did some quick Googling and Wikipedia searching, I did not find a singular article about this, not general lamdba calculus or something useful to a complete novice like me.


I think this from the Shen site describes it: http://www.shenlanguage.org/learn-shen/shendoc.htm#Kl


Yes, you would use that doc to implement it and then the Shen distribution to test if it works as expected. Unlike Shen, K lambda is quite a simple Lisp implementation, if you know a bit of Lisp it should all look pretty straight forward. It doesn't have any advanced stuff built in; that's all done on top.
