Show HN: The Namingless Programming Language (github.com)
A programming language that avoids naming at all costs.
Data structures don't have names since there is only one data structure and there is no point naming it other than 'the data structure'. There is only one operation, so also unnamed. Even the language itself doesn't have a name. "The namingless programming language" is a definition.
But the most cool feature is that when you write a script, you don't have to give the file a name either. The file name itself becomes the code. The file body is the executable interpreter.
Is it beautiful? No. Is it practical? Hell no. Is it fun? More than you'd think it would be.

The Lambda Calculus or better the SKI version of it meets most of the nameless requirements too.
