at times i wonder if people forget that "Y-Combinator" has a real meaning ...

Maybe I'm getting old, but I definitely don't remember an N-combinator.



There have been several N combinators, but none of them was quite as nifty as the more famous combinators (Y, U, S, K, and I are the ones that immediately come to my mind).


Yep, we know :). It's a "working title" (tongue in cheek)


Did you forget about the ninja combinator?!


I liked the bird hierarchy of combinators, myself.


In case you're wondering, I believe the reference is to this page:
