Re:  Remember Dijkstra?
Thank you, Dave!

Passion and humility:

"... I beg you to read it as carefully as you think it deserves to be read, as I am very anxious to get whatever comments you feel tempted to make.
... In its present stage, this project is hardly fit for discussion, I am just tentatively playing with vague concepts, trying to shape them so that they nicely fit together, I am still looking for the good words, the helpful metaphors.
... But this work will be heavily influenced by my past thinking ..., is very one-sided, so one-sided in fact, that I may have overlooked major implications of the programmer's task.
... That is why I am grateful for the opportunity to throw ... before the wolves. May the wolves enjoy it."

Edsger W. Dijkstra
