Lambda calculus is a universal/Turing-complete language specification invented by Alonzo Church, that is considered to be mathematically elegant, due to its small size. Almost all text-based formal languages are defined using Lambda calculus. To learn about its history, it is recommended to watch this video by Dana Scott[1].
