C--[edit]

Re: Gwern's comment on the article, AIUI there are no plans to abandon C-- as a GHC backend, because the native code generator starts from C-- and generates asm from there. However, in any case, I think that level of detail should be reserved for the article on C-- itself. In this article, I think it's sufficient just to say that SPJ worked on C--.

Name[edit]

There is no hyphen. Peyton Jones has said that when he started at Microsoft, the people who set up his email account added a hyphen to his name and he didn't want to correct them. I don't have a source for that, but if you look at any of his publications -- for example, a recent paper -- or the biography on his home page, you can see that his last name isn't hyphenated.

overkill number of references[edit]

one sentence, 12 references. Totally unencyclopedic.

These are the references:

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] He is an honorary Professor of Computer Science at the University of Glasgow[13] and co-supervises PhD students at the University of Cambridge.[14]

they have been reduced to two.
