It's interesting to note that one of the people behind this work is Simon Peyton Jones, known (among other things) for creating haskell and being the lead developer of the GHC.
- quickthrower2 8y agoIsn’t he busy at Facebook or is he though with that?
- xfer 8y agoSPJ never worked at facebook.. maybe you are thinking of Simon Marlow?
- vanderZwan 8y agoAlternative mix-up: maybe you're thinking of Andrei Alexandrescu, who worked on D while at Facebook? Names don't match but it's [programming language guy] at Facebook.
- chowells 8y agoIt's why MSR has employed him for almost as long as he's been working on GHC. Not specifically to work on Excel, but to have him help integrate ideas from GHC into Microsoft products. And I've got to say, they made a great choice. He's one of the most effective communicators I've ever seen when it comes to teaching new ideas.
