share
The main scientific heritage of Corrado Böhm is about computing, both concerning concrete algorithms as well as concerning models of computability. Discussed will be the following. 1. A compiler that can compile itself. 2. Structured programming, eliminating the `goto' statement. 3. Functional programming and an early implementation. 4. Separability in λ-calculus. 5. Compiling combinators without parsing. 6. Self-evaluation in λ-calculus.
