Friends
Anders Hejlsberg, the chief designer of C# and a very influential person at
Microsoft, gave a keynote talk at JAOO Aarhus last week about "Where are
programming languages going". Some of you may have mixed feelings about
Microsoft but I thought you might still be interested in this talk because he
gives a strong plug to functional programming (and F# in particular, although
Haskell gets a mention). FP is one of the three major trends he identifies,
the others being concurrency and dynamic languages.

The FP section starts 22 mins in.
