The title of this submission overstates his involvement somewhat. It looks like he posted to the Haskell mailing list a handful of times in early 2001, and his first apparent post does not prime any assumption he was a devoted enthusiast:

  This is why all non S-exp like lanaguage are doomed to progressive
  syntactic cancer as the useful parts of operator name space and syntax
  space become progressively polluted and mutated by one fad after
  another.
In any case, it's pretty cool to see a major public figure of significant worldwide importance making an insightful point about syntax space pollution.
