An honest question - what is the problem with inconsistency in using lambda calculus as a programming language and not as foundation of mathematics?

"""The lambda calculus was introduced by mathematician Alonzo Church in the 1930s as part of an investigation into the foundations of mathematics.[7][a] The original system was shown to be logically inconsistent in 1935 when Stephen Kleene and J. B. Rosser developed the Kleene–Rosser paradox.[8][9]""" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_calculus#History
