Unlambda is an extremely minimal functional programming language.

It is based on combinatory logic and implements Turing-complete computation.

No variables or conventional control structures are used.

I/O is handled through dedicated combinators.

Unlambda serves educational, recreational, and theoretical purposes.

Is Unlambda practical? -> No, mostly academic and recreational

Do I need prior functional programming knowledge? -> Helpful but not strictly required

Can Unlambda do I/O? -> Yes, via `.` and `,` operators

Is Unlambda Turing-complete? -> Yes, it can compute anything computable

Are there interpreters available? -> Yes, in C, Python, JavaScript, and online REPLs
