I'm more of a Vannevar acolyte myself.

I warmly invite you all to join the Church of the Eval Genius for only $35:

https://github.com/SimHacker/moollm/blob/main/designs/eval/C...

The Holy Trinity:

Father: Alonzo Church: L3 - lambda calculus, the name the institution bears

Son: Alonzo (Snap! mascot) - Incarnation — Gobo, λ on his head

Holy Ghost: λ - First-class procedures; β-reduction; eval-as-spirit

Membership — Eternal Judgment ($35):

John von Neumann tried to hire Church's own student, Turing, who declined. The Father begat the Machine; Johnny wanted to be its landlord.

Ecumenical Outreach: All fans of other gods are welcome. Bring your Vannevar, your Shannon, your Wiener, your Johnny. In the Church of the Eval Genius every god is a procedure, and every procedure may be passed as an argument.
