What a lovely letter: informative, rich in connections, kind.
My love for this kind & gentle man of genius is unbounded.

@blp @epu I would love to meet #DonaldKnuth and am a huge fan of his sorting algorithm (and apply it IRL all the time, not just programmatically).

#DonaldKnuth beaten by #AI.
> Shock! Shock! I learned yesterday that an open problem I’d been working on for several weeks had just been solved by Claude Opus 4.6 [...] It seems that I’ll have to revise my opinions about “generative AI” one of these days. What a joy it is to learn not only that my conjecture has a nice solution but also to celebrate this dramatic advance in automatic deduction and creative problem solving.

Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.
Donald E. Knuth (b. 1938) American computer scientist, mathematician, academic
Essay (1996), “Foreword” to Marko Petkovsek, Herbert Wilf and Doron Zeilberger, A = B (1996)More about this quote: wist.info/knuth-donald-e/81691…

"[T]he designer of a new system must not only be the implementor and the first large-scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual...If I had not participated fully in all these activities, literally hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would never have thought of them or perceived why they were important."

Oh, what a wonderful background narrative by the man Aho himself, thank you for the link.
And it's good to see Donald Knuth coming up, with his LALR algorithm and his always-pertinent practice-theory maxim.

Ingat, tidak ada konfigurasi atau optimasi yang optimal yang berlaku untuk semua situasi. Masing-masing sistem harus di-optimasi sesuai dengan tujuan dan situasi. Lakukan optimasi setelah melihat stats yang berjalan.
Kalau kata #DonaldKnuth:
"Premature optimization is the root of all evil"

Yes, Donald Knuth is a hero and a true renaissance man, and his TeX is an unsurpased achievement, a tool of lasting value.
Back in 1996 I took a few months off for an in-depth study of Knuth's TeX: tokens and boxes and output routines and all. I used plain TeX to write a flexible little macro package for myself, with a minimalist input syntax, set up for my own writing, tailored to my own writing needs.
I still use that same package today, 30 years later, unchanged except for project-specific adjustments. All the materials I give to my students are written in that package, all my papers. A stable writing framework for a lifetime. Few other systems have such stability and power. Thank you, Donald Knuth.
