- kloncks 16y agoHow will this be earth-shattering? Not trying to be a dick, just wondering if you have a point if you're not kidding.
- jey 16y agoDude, it's Knuth. OTOH, maybe Twitter will continue their overengineering by porting everything to MMIX.

- ja27 16y agoMostly joking, but it could be possible. I just can't think of anything besides P=NP (or proving P!=NP) that Knuth is likely to announce that I'd consider earth-shattering. In the end, it's likely to be a decent but not earth-shattering discovery. It better not be a TeX announcement. If he walks out, says "42" and leaves, I'm selling my copies of "The Art of Computer Programming".
