>due to its lambda complex level

No need to look so far. The logo for Half-Life was always the Greek letter lambda (certainly because it's often used in physics and chemistry to represent the decay constant, which is a simple function of half-life). And that level is probably just named in keeping with the game's identity.

I still remember when my chemistry teacher first drew a lambda on the chalkboard and said "this will give us the half-life". I felt like all the pieces finally came together in my life.

Half Life one confirmed

Heh! Here, have an upvote.

I always thought that Half-Life's logo is from that level. I think in the game it's first used in that context.

in the equation for calculating half-life, lambda represents the decay constant.

Yes. It's adorable. Now all we need is an open-source service compatible with AWS lambda that can run on your own servers. We could call it... freeman.

Yes, I know that defeats the point of using lambda, but I felt the joke was worth it.

i would like to see an libre software serverless service. one huge concern of AWS Lambda is being locked into AWS's goodwill.

Also, I just had the thought that a crowbar is a type of lever... not sure if that was intended or not?

If somebody builds a security module for lambda (an automated security test suite, or a pentest aid), it SHOULD be called crowbar.

Oh yes there is :D
