Sorry, I just have to ask you, why specifically the number 357 transistors? Is this like the smallest know number of transistors required to implement a lambda machine in hardware?

EDIT: oh I just got it! You mean an individually packaged NPN transistor, model number 357! You could build a lambda machine out of those, you could even make it useful if you provided it enough memory!

EDIT2: OH SHIT!!!! The root program of the Guix bootstrap is 357 bytes!!! Same model number for a NPN transistor. This can NOT be a coincidence.

357 is God's number!!! Mind blown. This is like, something out of the movie "Pi", I need a drill purge this shit from my brain!!!
