How ironic. While the Y combinator is a primitive, and necessary for the implementation of recursion. The B Combinator is technically an inessential function that can be derived from the more primitive S and K combinators.
True, but almost everyone who is not into combinator calculus is just going to see:
YCombinator. BCombinator. Wait. They are not associated despite just a single letter difference?
It is a similar problem as with ESL, ESL-Radio and ESL-TV. Sounds like they are an esports league, a radio reporting about an esports league, and a video streaming site about that esports-league? well... wrong. ESL-Radio has almost nothing to do with ESl and ESL-TV and is a video streaming site about ESports, while ESL-Tv streams some subset of the Esports league ESL, and the ESL is a big esports league.
So... please value distinct names to save us all a bunch of confusion.
