>You might get more than you bargained for on that topic

However, I did know about the points in your comment, mostly. [1]

That's because I happened to have read about the Tools book being first written in RATFOR (which, IIRC, stood for RATional FORtran) and then in Pascal, many years ago. I was a heavy Turbo Pascal user first, before becoming a heavy C and Unix user. And I used to keep reading the news about these subjects I was interested in. That's how I know about that topic.

[1] I said "mostly" above, because I somehow, wrongly, remembered that paper as having been written by Rob Pike, instead of by Brian Kernighan.
