Its interesting that Haskell Brooks Curry, a logician after whom this language has (presumably?) been named, has had a programming language named after all three parts of his name.

- eru 10y agoHaskell was famously designed by committee. They also decided the name of the language by committee, and settled on Curry. Later (I suspect over beer), two or three people from the committee thought that was too ridiculous and just unilaterally decided to go with Haskell instead. Edit: Look for "Choosing a Name" in http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/history.pdf http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/histor... if you want the actual story, and not my faulty memory.
