Description

Hi,

I'd be more than happy to submit some pull requests on these various terms. I'd much rather get an opinion first before starting on a PR:

  • application (as a compliment to partial application)
  • thunk
  • tail-call optimization
  • trampolines
  • functor
  • reducer
  • transducer
  • homomorphism
