>From mo@Lbl-Unix Thu Mar 11 16:15:50 1982 Just a passing comment... There is a psychological theory, the author of which I can't remember at the moment, which says the first language you learn, or become fluent in, dramatically controls the thoughts you can have. In watching the recent interchanges, I wonder if there is evidence supporting this for Operating Systems (Tenex, for example) and Programming Languages (C, for instance). The flames both ways are interesting to watch, so I won't jump in just now, but it might be interesting for people to reflect on their opinions and attempt to understand their biases. The whole world is not Vaxen, 68000's, or even KL20's. -Mike
