Lambda diagrams are a compact graphical visualization of lambda calculus with pretty much no room for interpretation.
Lambda calculus is a a formalism with only three types of terms that can represent any kind of computation in a very minimalistic way.
Lambda diagrams are presented by John Tromp on his homepage here: https://tromp.github.io/cl/diagrams.html

As a programming interface

As a novel idea for a user friendly programming interface on this wiki there are presented "annotated lambda diagrams" (ALDs)
In this naming scheme basic unannotated lambda diagrams could also be called "plain lambda diagrams" (PLDs)
