[edit ]I was at Oxford in 1987 doing Maths/Comp and Orwell was taught primarily in the first term "because it was a language no one will have seen before". It replaced previous LISP courses. Richard Bird taught the course, based on a draft of his book - https://usi-pl.github.io/lc/sp-2015/doc/Bird_Wadler.%20Introduction%20to%20Functional%20Programming.1ed.pdf (I kinda wish I'd kept the laser printed Latex versions he handed out!).
Fun stuff was when the 1988 course did the same lazy-evaluation course ("digits of e") and got different answers; this highlighted a bug in the Orwell interpreter when dealing with infinite list of lists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.109.207.227 (talk) 02:39, 26 June 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
