Core combinators and higher-order functions


## Example

```js
λ = require('core.lambda')

function add2(a, b) { return a + b }
var add = λ.curry(add2)

λ.compose(add(1), λ.compose( λ.uncurry(add2)
                           , λ.constant([2, 3])))()
// => 6
```


## Installing

The easiest way is to grab it from NPM. If you're running in a Browser
environment, you can use [Browserify][]

    $ npm install core.lambda


### Using with CommonJS

If you're not using NPM, [Download the latest release][release], and require
the `core.lambda.umd.js` file:

```js
var Lambda = require('core.lambda')
```


### Using with AMD

[Download the latest release][release], and require the `core.lambda.umd.js`
file:

```js
require(['core.lambda'], function(Lambda) {
  ( ... )
})
```


### Using without modules

[Download the latest release][release], and load the `core.lambda.umd.js`
file. The properties are exposed in the global `folktale.core.lambda` object:

```html
<script src="/path/to/core.lambda.umd.js"></script>
```


### Compiling from source

If you want to compile this library from the source, you'll need [Git][],
[Make][], [Node.js][], and run the following commands:

    $ git clone git://github.com/folktale/core.lambda.git
    $ cd core.lambda
    $ npm install
    $ make bundle
    
This will generate the `dist/core.lambda.umd.js` file, which you can load in
any JavaScript environment.

    
## Documentation

You can [read the documentation online][docs] or build it yourself:

    $ git clone git://github.com/folktale/core.lambda.git
    $ cd core.lambda
    $ npm install
    $ make documentation

Then open the file `docs/index.html` in your browser.


## Platform support

This library assumes an ES5 environment, but can be easily supported in ES3
platforms by the use of shims. Just include [es5-shim][] :)
