Lambda calculus is a formal system for expressing functions and performing computation using function abstraction and application, serving as a foundation for functional programming languages. As a universal model of computation, lambda calculus is relevant to the tech community because it underlies the design of programming languages, informs the development of type systems, and provides a framework for reasoning about program behavior, making it a fundamental concept for programmers and researchers in the field of programming languages and software development.
