Lambda calculus nor regular calculus are going to help you write a compiler. And certainly regular calculus isn’t going to help you design a language...

If you're writing a compiler for a functional language, lambda calculus is quite useful, and even necessary is some cases (understanding typed lambda calculus is pretty fundamental to statically typed functional languages from an implementation point of view).
