Does that mean TeX and ACP delayed the revelation of thoughts about compiler technics by 40 years and he thinks his original thoughts to start the whole thing with are still relevant and at least partially not published/discovered?
Given what he did for computer algorithms (and doc type setting) this makes me really curious about his views on compilers.
