PROGRAMMING WITH LESS THAN NOTHING
Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter
An interviewer asks a candidate to solve FizzBuzz, and the candidate responds by attempting to implement the entire problem using combinatory logic in JavaScript. The interviewer is initially skeptical, recognizing the approach as an exercise in reinventing programming primitives from lambda calculus. The candidate then constructs numbers, lists, and string manipulation functions using combinators, eventually producing the desired FizzBuzz output.
