Since its publication, the book has become one of the most widely cited and influential texts in the field of programming language theory.[1] It is frequently used as a graduate-level textbook in computer science programs around the world and has shaped the way type systems are taught in academic curricula.[2][1]
A review by Frank Pfenning called it "probably the single most important book in the area of programming languages in recent years."[4]
