An interview with Simon Peyton Jones exploring his career, the design of Haskell, C--, and the Verse programming language.

We had the privilege of interviewing Simon Peyton Jones OBE. Simon is one of *the* most influential programmers of all time, yet humble and fun to chat to, and generous with his time. We spent 90mins exploring his career, Haskell, C-- and Verse, and also some more meta topics about the influence of tech and programmers' responsibilities to build a future that works for everyone.
