Tom Stuart's Ruby Manor 3 talk builds FizzBuzz using nothing but Ruby lambdas, working through Church encodings of numbers, booleans and data structures. It is a hands-on introduction to lambda calculus.
Why HN recommends it: Strongly recommended in lambda calculus and Y-combinator threads as a mind-expanding half hour that clarifies the ideas.
