Re: Knuth and MIX
The use of the arcane MIX code in The Art of Computer Programming reflects
the ancient times in which it was written. I've heard that Knuth is rewriting
The Art of Computer Programming with Pascal in place of MIX. He has also
published a book of TeX's source code with commentary - in this he is certainly
a sparkling example of a programmer.
