- Hey! Look, man: all compiler writers are kooks. Stallman just happens to be
- giving his kookyness away.
-
- If a kook can write a general language, general target compiler (make no
- mistake, that is what gcc is), that's one potentially rich kook. Maybe you
- feel that since he makes gcc so available, that's what makes him a kook...
-
- Now, we have a potentially rich but generous kook... I say we need more kooks
- like that kook...
