    I love the overall idea, but the game really needs polishing. When I was playing TIS-100 and Human Resource Machine, I wondered, since people can make profitable games based on the Von Neumann model, why nobody ever tried making one based on functional language? So I bought this game the moment I saw it, and I enjoyed it! It is amusing to reinvent Y-combinator and Church numerals and solve problems using data…

    I like the idea of this game, however a little more readable from first principals tutorial on how to write in this language would be appreciated. for example, It is not obvious (nor have i been able to figure out) how to define constants. This has made it rather impossible to abstract concepts to simplify programs and grow functionality as suggested in the demo
