+\maketitle
+\subsubsection*{Summary \& Evidence}
+%Summary (as briefly as you can - two or three sentences)
+Hughes shows that because modularity is the key to successful programming
+functional programming offers advantages. Modularity in functional programming
+is easily achieved through higher-order functions and lazy evaluation.
+
+%Evidence (what evidence is offered to support the claims?)
+Evidence is given by walking the reader through increasingly complex
+algorithmic implementations in a functional language. By doing so the ease of
+using higher-order functions and lazy evaluation in functional languages
+becomes clear.
+
+\subsubsection*{Strengths \& Weaknesses}
+%Strength (what positive basis is there for publishing/reading it?)
+The paper is extremely readable and presents a solid case. Step by step the
+reader is submerged in higher order functions and abstract functional
+programming concepts.
+
+%Weaknesses
+A weakness is the fact that the paper is not well embedded in existing
+literature. A meager six references are used. Also the paper shows the strength
+of modularity in measures of writing elegant code and implementing elegant
+algorithms but not in terms of speed
+
+\subsubsection*{Evaluation}
+%Evaluation (if you were running the conference/journal where it was published,
+%would you recommend acceptance?)
+I would advise to publish the paper in a general computer science journal. The
+paper does not delve very deep in the matter and people already familiar to
+functional programming might find the contents trivial and self-evident.
+
+%Comments on quality of writing
+The quality of writing is very high. The structure is clear and the paper is
+very readable, even without domain knowledge.
+
+\subsubsection*{Discussion}
+%Queries for discussion
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item The paper is only showing the aesthetic superiority. Is it also fast?
+ \item How does this scale?
+ \item Does this also scale for algorithms that use memory?
+\end{itemize}
