I only met Phil once, but it was his suggestion that led to the formation of Underscore, where I now work. I hoped I'd get a chance to say thanks, but now that opportunity is gone.

I'm a newbie on Functional Programming.

But I'm changing that, trying hard at least. 2 things have been a great influence for me: Underscore.js and learning scala at coursera.org.

Perhaps, at some level, I owe these new skills to Phil.
