Now you're really gonna' piss the interviewers off! http://joelgrus.com/2016/05/23/fizz-buzz-in-tensorflow/

Neat text. I'd be really impressed if I were to interview him, but then again: I'd never ask someone to write a fizzbuzz... hmmm...

Edit: I actually tried a FizzBuzz myself and I actually like it. I get why people were to ask it at interviews since it does require you to think for a second (if you haven't done it before) so you can easily filter out people who can't think

Many many years ago I did a project building a functional programming language that macro expanded into lambda calculus that was then compiled down to SK combinators for evaluation. This was entertainingly inefficient.

I'm tempted to resurrect the code (I still have a printout) and use it to implement Fizz Buzz....

Indeed, what's the point to ask someone to write a fizzbuzz when it's already been done to the highest of professional enterprise standards! [1]

You could take a look at what this guy[1] did. It was a great read for me as a real beginner in lambda calculus.

Highest professional enterprise standards my arse. Where's the message queues? Why isn't there a Fizz microservice and a Buzz microservice that live behind an API Gateway and receive messages from an event driven architecture?

I'm gonna need a write up. I've been looking at the code for 10 or 15 minutes and I still haven't found "fizz", "buzz", or the number 100 anywhere in the code. It's amazing.
