He referred me to Haskore.

In about 93 or 94 a colleague had talked to me about this wierd

But I stumbled on functional programming in the first place.

I find it odd when people talk about portability in languages. Form me that
has always been a given (I started my first language, c++ in 2002).
I got into Haskell and FP in general when I took advanced languages at my
uni and I still write haskell java and c++ regularly.

I was working in embedded development, writing lots of C code. My

became quite interested in figuring out how to write code with less

Read Ullman's book on ML. Look at Haskell at that point, but was
insufficiently mathematically sophisticated to "get it" (hey, I was
sixteen). Wrote numerical analysis code in Forth for a year or so.
