(Spoiler - We start with BCPL, then Move to B - it's left as an exercise to determine how we originally compiled BCPL)

coupled with user:rmrfrmrf's pseudo-religious post praising the code, I read the second url as "christ" :P Oh how our minds play tricks on us!

  They definitely messed up with a conversion from Subversion to Mercurial. ;)

  Uh these commits seem interesting, but I don't quite understand the context. What's macho and what is its relation to go? Are the dates way off or is it an import of older history?

    Your leg is being pulled, a little. Mach-o is the mach object file format, Brian Kernighan's C 'hello world' program is being used as source for, I think, a test. It's checked into the go tree with version history all the way back to its primordial source.
