DescriptionCertificate of Election
CitationSimon Peyton-Jones is a world leader in functional programming, and has been at the forefront of the field for the last 25 years as one of the main designers and implementers of the award-winning Haskell programming language. Haskell has supported experimental research on programming language design and provided a stream of innovative features that have influenced the field and have been carried into newer languages including C#, F#, Java Generics, LINQ, Perl 6, Python, and Visual Basic 9.0. The Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC) is the preeminent functional programming system for teaching and research; simultaneously, GHC's reliability and efficiency has encouraged commercial adoption in the financial sector and for high assurance software. Simon Peyton Jones' combination of creative flair, sound engineering judgment, energy and enthusiasm have been central to the success of Haskell.
