I actually listened to this interview a few weeks ago and thought it was an exceptionally good rundown of the basic philosophy of functional programming. Of course, YMMV, but I found Jones’s discussion of the history of Haskell and the discussion of laziness to be great. Nothing earth shattering or enlightening, just a good introductory talk that has some depth for listeners who don’t use and study functional languages as a hobby or career.
