I've been working on a combinatoric approach with Fexl, "compiling" all the way down to my two turtles S and C, e.g.:

I'm also relying on two higher-level combinators L and R to reduce the size of the combinatorial forms, e.g.:

The bottom line is that the entire Fexl parser is defined in terms of the two primitive combinators S and C.

I was confused a while till I saw you talking about Moses Schönfinkel. From everything I've seen people usually refer to those as SK combinators not SC combinators.
Right, that's "K" as in "Konstanzfunktion" in the original German. The book "From Frege to Gödel" uses "C" as in "Constancy Function" in English, and I got in the habit of using that.
