Re: [Haskell-cafe] The History of Haskell

Simon and partners, Thank you for this paper. As a relative newcomer to Haskell, quite few topics on the mailing lists went right past me. Now that I've read this paper a can at least understand generally what most topics are about. I'd definitely recommend this as reading material to anyone right after they know a bit about the basic language from a tutorial. It helps place the basic Haskell language in both its historical context, and in the current Haskell universe with its miriad extensions and tools. Thanks again, Maarten On 7/14/06, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:
