  The classics section is missing one of my favourites, Recursive Programming Techniques by Wm Burge. A beautiful book that was ultra cutting-edge at the time (1975) but still a very effective exploration of the elegance of FP, techniques and patterns that are useful today, ideas with the…

  it's a long time since I read it, but I remember the treatment in Burge's 1975 "Recursive Programming Techniques" being clear, along with other techniques, if you can find a library copy. As far as I know, combinator parsing was introduced there, and I find it's normally worth reading the original literature on…

  I'll explain that one. In the 1970s Burge wrote a book "Recursive Programming Techniques" explaining cool things you can do with functional programming -- yes, a lot of that stuff goes back that far. Reynolds invented a functional language called Gedanken -- the paper was iirc 1972. (I don't…
