Abstract

Categorical Combinators form a formal system similar to Curry’s Combinatory Logic. It was developed by Curien [2] inspired by the equivalence of the theories of typed λ-calculus and Cartesian Closed Categories as shown by Lambek [3] and Scott [8], In this paper we show how to “execute” Categorical Combinators in an efficient way using a rewriting system. This efficiency is achieved by cutting down the number of laws, by introducing constants in a different way and choosing a more compact notation for the code.
