Lambda Calculus and Lisp, part 1

Lambda Calculus and Lisp, part 1.
The first of a series of envisioned blog posts on lambda calculus, and Lisp. It’s unclear exactly where to start: there is a whole heap of interesting issues, both theoretical and in terms of concrete implementations, which tangle and interconnect.
