It really is and I’m glad you appreciated it. I love these stories and how you can show the lasting impact that these very direct and personal influences had on the tools we use today. I recently learned that Burstall met Peter Landin and Christopher Strachey through this underground study group forms by a gentleman named Mervyn Pragnell, who skulked around in book shops so he could invite people who were reading books on logic to his group where they would study lambda calculus together. To think a meetup organizer in the early 60s had this lasting impact that carries to today.
