lambdaks

Lambdaks is a programming language designed to simplify the creation of mathematical models and simulations. It is particularly well-suited for tasks involving differential equations, optimization, and other mathematical computations. The language is named after the lambda calculus, a formal system in mathematical logic for expressing computation based on function abstraction and application using variable binding and substitution.

Lambdaks is a functional programming language, meaning that it treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data. This paradigm aligns well with the declarative nature of mathematical modeling, where the focus is on what to solve rather than how to solve it.

The syntax of Lambdaks is designed to be concise and expressive, allowing users to write complex mathematical expressions in a natural and readable manner. The language supports a wide range of mathematical functions and operators, including those for calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. It also includes features for defining custom functions and operators, enabling users to extend the language's capabilities to suit their specific needs.

Lambdaks is interpreted, which means that code is executed line-by-line, allowing for interactive and exploratory programming. This is particularly useful for mathematical modeling, where users often need to experiment with different approaches and parameters.

Lambdaks is open-source and available for free under the MIT license. It has a small but active community of users and developers, who contribute to its ongoing development and improvement. The language is supported on multiple platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
