Knights of the Lambda-Calculus
A semi-mythical organisation of wizardly LISP and Scheme hackers. The name
refers to a mathematical formalism invented by Alonzo Church, with which LISP is
intimately connected. There is no enrollment list and the criteria for induction
are unclear, but one well-known LISPer has been known to give out buttons and,
in general, the *members* know who they are.
