   Well, LaTeX is a (slight) improvement over TeX, which was written by D Knuth. I don't think that is what they would give a Turing Award to someone for.

   He was not particularly a good father figure. He spent very little time with his sons (who his ex-wife Mileva Marić, took care of). If I remember correctly, he also had a daughter with Maric, Lieserl... he actually never really knew... givi

   Thanks for this. So you think there is room for books still in the sense of Knuth. That's encouraging. :)

   Again! I've been hearing the "switch to functional!" spiel since the 70s (being honest, since sometime in the 60s, but I digress)... stop it already! Hasn't happened in 40 years, won't happen now.

   But I really want it to stop. I hate not being able to just "copy link address" off of the results page
