    See cvoss's comment in another thread: " What happens in the evaluator when you have (\ a . a a) (\ x . \ y . x y) Variables are uniquely named at parse time, but after one beta st…

    An accessible introduction to the infamous Par operator, with a focus on intuition. Notably, this is on the broader concept of multiplicative disjunction, which appears even outsid…

    Alternative title: Par and Constructive Classical Logic. I've finally rounded out the Par trilogy, on sequent calculus, linear logic, and continuations! This post was the point of …

    A new guide on linear logic! Much deeper than the usual "imagine a vending machine" guide, though I do mention the connection to that at the end lol. This is great for getting an i…

    Oh yeah I'm well aware of the meme haha. I just wanted to show that I'm conscious of these things in my writing. My dedicated entry on monads ( https://ryanbrewer.dev/wiki/monad ) …

    Only in locally-small categories. But yes, category theory often makes use of sets.
