I have written 150,000 words about the history of functional programming in my native language here: https://klapaucius.github.io/fphistoryru/. I continue to write regularly, adding several thousand words each month. But the text is merely an invitation to discussion — and the number of people interested in discussing the history of functional programming is limited. Even fewer are willing to do so in my native language.
That’s why I’ve been planning to translate these texts into English for some time now. Writing about the history of functional programming is a fantastic hobby. However, translating — or even just editing machine translations — definitely feels like work. And so, my plans remained just plans.
This is why I ask for your support. Receiving even symbolic financial contributions would make me feel obligated to tackle this task.
