yes, the second paragraph in the paper mentions it
'''
The purpose of the course is to strengthen a student’s understanding of basic physics by learning a new language (Haskell), and instructing the computer to do physics in that language. Our attitude was strongly influenced by the work of Papert[6], and the subsequent work of Sussman and his coworkers[7, 8].
