By the way Okasaki not just has a paper, but a whole book on that topic. It has code examples in ML and Haskell. It's really nice if you want to learn to design persistent data structures.

I just double checked and I think the link I posted is to the book -- I thought it was just one of the papers but that PDF is the actual 160 page book that was his thesis.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, and book != thesis.

[EDIT] - Looking through the Amazon listing, it looks the book is certainly not just a republish of the thesis... Looks like I have even more reading to do

+1 Okasaki’s book is a great reference. I’ve personally given out a few as gifts.
