Data stays in the sources and it is accessed on demand, with no need to create another copy. Build data models that suit the needs of the consumer, even across multiple sources. Hide the complexity of your back-end technologies from the end users. The virtual model can be secured and consumed using standard SQL and other formats like REST, SOAP and OData. Easy access to all types of data. Full data integration and data modeling capabilities. Active Data Catalog and self-service capabilities for data & metadata discovery and data preparation. Full data security and data governance capabilities. Fast intelligent execution of data queries. Real-time data delivery in any format. Ability to create data marketplaces. Decoupling of business applications from data systems to facilitate data-driven strategies.

Unlambda is a programming language. Nothing remarkable there. The originality of Unlambda is that it stands as the unexpected intersection of two marginal families of languages. Functional programming languages, of which the canonical representative is Scheme (a Lisp dialect). This means that the basic object manipulated by the language (and indeed the only one as far as Unlambda is concerned) is the function. Rather, Unlambda uses a functional approach to programming: the only form of objects it manipulates are functions. Each function takes a function as an argument and returns a function. Apart from a binary “apply” operation, Unlambda provides several built-in functions (the most important ones being the K and S combinators). User-defined functions can be created, but not saved or named, because Unlambda does not have any variables.
