This is selfish... but Dr. Knuth, please oh please pick up the pace a notch and select a side kick to finish your work. Please!

- cpr 15y agoThis is an understandable impulse, but completely ignores the nature of the work itself, which is essentially Knuthian. I don't think there's anyone else in the world, let alone an associate of his, who could continue this work. It's been years since I was around him (I worked at a Stanford spin-off startup in the early 80's that commercialized some TeX printing technologies), but it's hard to overestimate what he's accomplished. What a wonderful man!
