- Umm, I'll grant Don Knuth is a hacker, and has advanced theory and
- practice in ways too numerous to mention here. But his style is horrific -
- you can't explain algorithms in a mixture of flow diagrams and assembler
- code. And TeX as a language is a nightmare, even if it is the best system
- available for automatic mathematical typesetting.
