Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell Weekly News: Issue 111 - March 28, 2009

The quote has been around since at least the early 80s, but I don't know who it's from. 2009/3/28 Krzysztof Skrzętnicki :

This paper from 1994: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.36.5611 begins point 1.1 with exactly that sentence. It doesn't seem to be quoted there, so one can assume this is the original source of that sentence. I'm not sure dough.

conal: Recursion is the goto of functional programming

BTW, I certainly did not mean to take credit for this wonderful quote.  I don't know the origin.  I first heard it from Erik Meijer.
