A. Dudley and K. B. Haley.Burstall was an early and influential proponent of functional programming, pattern matching, and list comprehension, and is known for his work with Robin Popplestone on POP, an innovative programming language developed at Edinburgh around 1970, and later work with John Darlington on NPL and David MacQueen and Don Sannella on Hope, a precursor to Standard ML, Miranda, and Haskell.[citation needed] In 2009, he was awarded the ACM SIGPLAN Programming Language Achievement Award.Burstall retired in 2000, becoming Professor Emeritus, and now spends most of his time in Scotland and France.
