Talk:Phil Bagwell

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Bagwell was probably the most influential researcher in the field of persistent data structures from 2000 until his death. His work is now a standard part of the runtimes of functional programming languages including Clojure, Scala, and Haskell --Daphne Preston-Kendal (talk) 21:26, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
