The History of Haskell

David Turner was very influential in the language as a way of expressing nice algorithmic ideas. He took great care with Miranda to make it elegant and clear and not noisy. A lot of Haskell's syntactic conventions came from David Turner and Miranda. Mark Jones invented Gopher as a simple, cut-down version of Orwell. And then, well, what's the Haskell timeline about 1990? So there are a bunch of lazy languages at the time, so there was Miranda, Orwell, and Gopher. There's lazy ML also in Sweden and Hope in Edinburgh and Clean,. I think, was also a thing.
