And Knuth could out code The Sussman and Abelson any day, even if they got a handicap by allowing Dijkstra on their team.

I only recommend HTDP2e because it teaches practical ideas without unnecessary prose.

TAOCP is harder than SICP, too. And about 5 times longer. There's no doubt that Knuth could outcode them.

Too many acronyms, you people are worse than the nips abbreviating everything.

I don't see why this should come as a surprise: TAoCP was intended to be a masterwork covering a field, while SICP is an introductory text. It's like comparing Yukari's and Alice's fights in PCB.

Kijkstra would just start arguments, cause problems, try to make memorable quotes, and condemn things as harmful. Putting him on team 6.001 is like tying a ball-and-chain on a runner and sending him to the Olympics.
