When I tell the Windows Terminal team something is simple, I am "misguided"

I get the feeling that there's a bunch of people working for, or being paid by, Microsoft who really love functional programming. Some of Microsoft's best outputs comes from those teams/folks.

It could just be a coincidence/confirmation bias, so I wonder if there's actually something to that.

If you care about programming enough to really have preferences on things like functional or OO or other kinds of "deep" topics, then you're invested.

Simon Peyton Jones, Simon Marlow, Edward Kmett, Conal Elliott, and I’m sure a lot of other people with fundamental contributions to the Haskell ecosystem who I can’t remember offhand all work or previously worked at Microsoft Research, so that part is just straightforwardly true.
