{0 Lambda calculus}
This representation is the fifth in the compilation chain
(see {{: index.html#architecture} Architecture}). Its main difference
with the previous {{: Dcalc.html} default calculus} is the absence of the
default term, which has been eliminated through diverse compilation schemes.
The module describing the abstract syntax tree is:
{!modules: Lcalc.Ast Lcalc.Print}
This intermediate representation corresponds to the lambda calculus
presented in the {{: https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.03198} Catala formalization}.
{1 Compilation from default calculus }
{!module: Lcalc.Compile_with_exceptions} compiles the default term of the
default calculus using catchable exceptions. This compilation scheme has been
certified.
Related modules:
{!modules: Lcalc.Compile_with_exceptions}
{1 Backends}
The OCaml backend of the lambda calculus is merely a syntactic formatting,
since the core of the OCaml value language is effectively a lambda calculus.
