nixCraft 🐧Edsger Wybe Dijkstra was a foundational figure in computer science. His pioneering work established the groundwork for several key domains, including algorithm and program design, operating systems, distributed processing, and the formal verification of mathematical arguments. The "E. W. Dijkstra Archive" contains the manuscripts of Edsger W. Dijkstra that everyone in compsci is must read.
Madman’s Nest@nixCraft Ah, the anti goto guy

🇺🇦@nixCraft Please correct me if I remember this incorrectly, but wasn't EWD known for holding lectures barefooted? Also, didn't he once hold a lecture where at the end the session chair asked the audience if there were any questions. From the audience, someone said "I did not understand this". EWD did not react. The session chair asked EWD if he missed the comment, whereupon EWD answered: "This was not a question".
