Hi folks I'm thinking of writing a little essay arguing the case for the advantages of FP for producing quality software. Can the list recommend any papers/articles which I can use as sources of my argument? I have access to the IEEE database too although earlier I couldn't find anything on the subject.
Try: Philip Wadler. An angry half dozen. SIGPLAN Notices 33(2):25--30, February 1998. [NB. http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/article/wadler98angry.html ] Also look for the schedules for the 2007 and 2006 CUFP (Commercial Users of Functional Programming) workshops. The schedules have links to slides from talks by people using FP in industry.
