The Importance of Functional Programming Languages

In a 78 paper by Bacchus, there's a whole paragraph basically thanking Iverson because the name of the paper is can we be liberated from von Neumann languages. And so he's, he calls out to Iverson though and says that APL is one of the few languages that is actually going in the right direction as opposed to like Algol and Fortran. So FP is highly influenced by APL, but Bacchus says that Iverson made a bunch of mistakes. Then, you know, fast forward 12 years from 77, 78 to 1990, and then Iverson ends up holding a bunch of FP was influenced by FL. It's just a few things were
