I suspect that some of that stuff is graffiti, but I'm not expert enough to say for sure. Will someone please check on it? --unknown
This article certainly doesn't explain things very well except to people who already know the information in the article. I have a bachelor's degree with a double major in computer science and mathematics, one of the courses I took mentioned the Y combinator one day in class, and while I did fairly well in both my majors as well as that class, that particular day in class the material made no sense to anybody and none of the other students understood it either. I still have no idea what on Earth a fixed-point combinator is, as it is described here using very technical language that is so technical you'd probably have to be taking graduate-level courses to understand what any of this means.
Pretty much none of the other programming-related articles on Wikipedia are anywhere near this hard to understand. Somebody really ought to fix this, I still don't have a clue about anything this article is saying and I studied this stuff in college and got good grades in it, at a university that at the time was classified as having one of the top 5 computer science departments in the United States! Could somebody please translate this article from ultra-technical language back into English so that it is readable by people who are not Ph.Ds or in Ph.D programs? I am actually of above average intelligence but even for me this article is way too hard to understand and I agree with the people from 12 years ago back in 2005, it needs to be dumbed down somehow so that people with IQs under 150 and people who did not go to graduate school can understand it. Yes, it's a great article for people who have a Ph.D in computer science and an IQ of 180 but some of us only have IQs in the 140s and only have bachelor's degrees, so please at least dumb it down enough for people like me. --[[User:Yetisyny|Yetisyny]] ([[User talk:Yetisyny|talk]]) 11:17, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
