You have read the hair shirt paper, right?



The what?


"Wearing the hair shirt: A retrospective on Haskell" by Simon Peyton Jones. (And it's not actually a paper, but was an invited talk.)

Third time I've seen his name recently. First, a definitive guide on FP compilers. Another I think touring them. Then this. Is this guy supposed to be one of the grandmasters of FP or something? ;)


Yes, actually.


Just read the paper. Has valuable info for academics or developers wanting to take Haskell (or ML) to the next level. Thanks for the link. :)
