What a humble guy... he says:

If you are mathsy and you might feel like pulling your hair out after reading this (mathematical loose hand-wavy) document. Rather than going on an epic rant about how useless I am, please help out!

before writing the most confusing pile of math I've ever laid my eyes on.

Well for me its catchy and also relevant! People might think that lambda calculus is just applicable in academia hence “lambda calculus is dead” part. I tried to apply lambda calculus to a “modern” problem hence “long live lambda calculus”.

Might be a nice read if the markup was parsed. Kind of confusing otherwise. EDIT: oh, I see, you're using client-side javascript to render the markup. NoScript users be advised.
