Friends, Phil Wadler, John Hughes, Paul Hudak and I have been writing a paper about the The History of Haskell We've submitted an earlier draft to the History Of Programming Languages conference (HOPL'07), and it's been accepted. We have to submit a more-or-less final draft by 1 September. This message is to invite you to read it, tell us what you think, and help us improve it. Here it is, along with a Wiki page for you to write comments: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/History_of_Haskell Enjoy! Simon PS: If you followed a link earlier today, and have a version dated Feb, discard it. The one you want is dated July 14th.
It was very interesting reading. Thanks! The slightly anecdotal style
of writing is making it even pleasant to read.

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
