So what's with the name?

I'm about to start writing a series of short posts, each about the question of whether procedures are first-class citizens in Ruby, as well as some other languages. Look for those starting in a few days. However, some folks might not be aware of the pun that inspired the name of this blog.

There may or may not be a legendary organization called The Knights of the λ Calculus. I wouldn't claim to call myself a wizard, nor do I primarily work in Lisp or Scheme, so I'm clearly not a member of such an illustrious group. However, I'll make frequent references to topics discussed in SICP, the Wizard Book, so I equally clearly have certain aspirations in this direction. Hence the blog name.
