Propose merge to lambda calculus

While important, a bit technical and specific for a standalone article (we don't even have a standalone article for the more fundamental concepts of substitution (lambda calculus) and beta-reduction. Caleb Stanford (talk) 20:49, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Felix QW Perhaps you can add some summary sentences to lambda calculus#β-reduction. --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 11:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The lambda calculus article is pretty big, and merging this would probably make it too big. Also I don't really see an obvious place where this would go (the substitution section is just a short thing explaining it in the context of beta-reduction).
