I am very suprised to see the association of the word microsoft, 1987 and functional programming. As far as I remember, Simon Peyton Jones research (and this book) has made him famous. I was very sad that such a talent was hired by the "devil" microsoft. That is old story. He has managed to do great things inside Microsoft and since the departure of Balmer, my opinion about Microsoft is a lot more balanced. The association seems an anachronism.
