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. -- Lennart
