You might want to look at : http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs3161/docs/references.php We use: Bob Harper's book, "Programming Languages: Theory and Practice" http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/plbook/ and "Types and Programming Languages", Benjamin Pierce Cheers, Don ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Indeed, I'd be interested as well. I'm actually looking for a good textbook for a "concepts of programming language" course. All the books I can find tend to emphasize OO or imperative programming too much for my taste.
