Re: [Haskell-cafe] How did you stumble on Haskell?

Lennart, Now you've made me curious. Which paper is this? Is it available for download anywhere? Mike Lennart Augustsson wrote:

How do people stumble on Haskell?

Well, I didn't really stumble on it. I was at the 1987 meeting when we decided to define Haskell.

But I stumbled on functional programming in the first place. I had to learn it because it was part of a course in denotational semantics. The language was SASL. And then I read David Turners paper on combinators, and I was hooked.
