Ah, a new internet meme. A few years ago, it was Haskell monad tutorials. Now that everyone is hearing about YC, they think they need to learn what the Y combinator is and then blog about it.

Why not just contribute to the Wikipedia article?

Having read Mr. Vanier's musings on programming languages for several years, I highly doubt this situation is as you posit.

Regardless, I'd much rather see the web full of blogs on theoretical computer science than blogs on the lives of "stars" and "fashion models".

Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
