Comment Comment by vincent-manis - when I read Clark Weissman's `LISP 1.5 Primer' in 1968- when I finished a student programming assignment a year later and realised that a well-chosen set of procedures constituted what we'd now call a DSL- when I ported Martin Richards' very clean BCPL compiler and realized that you could write efficient code in something that wasn't Fortran- when I read the Thompson/Ritchie paper on Unix- when I completed my first reading of SICP parent vincent-manis 6 years ago
