Dedicated to the history buffs out there:

no warnings;EWDs:;SHORTEST_PATH:$dijkstra;goto considered;;harmful: ;sought;formal,verification;$algol=(qw[forefather of c c inspired], ,qq[Just another Perl hacker,\n]) [5];RECURSION_ELIMINATION:goto KNUTH;wirth;considered:goto harmful;PASCAL:;abolished:;in;modula II ;;;;KNUTH:"considered";goto efficient;efficient:$in_some,qw/cases/; FORTRAN;BASIC;should;never,be;taught;print $algol or say with Lisp;

Inspired by MJD's blog: Dijkstra was not insane, Knuth's Paper on Goto, many articles on Wikipedia on topics in early CS, and an enjoyment of the history of computer languages.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
