Ah, the riveting tale of Tony Hoare's #legacy in computer science, heroically narrated by our dear friend, the 'Access Denied' page. 🙄 Apparently, the real imprint here is left by Cloudflare's iron gatekeepers, valiantly safeguarding us from...reading an article! 🚫📚

🤡 Oh, look! Another tech blogger trying to summarize Tony Hoare's endless list of achievements in what is surely the most riveting way possible. 📚🙄 Because what the world really needs right now is yet another stale retrospective on a computer scientist who's probably too busy inventing new #algorithms to care about this #tribute. 🖥️🎉

Obituary, Tony Hoare

I knew him when he was in Oxford and regularly came across him in conferences and seminars. #Quicksort was revolutionary, and #CSP had a profound effect on my thinking and technical analysis. He was always self deprecating and very approachable.

Edit an embarrassing spelling SNAFU

🎩🦆 Oh, what a profound #tribute to Tony Hoare, buried under mountains of unrelated waffle about Limousin, Prigord, and other trivia nobody asked for! Skip the fluff and maybe, just maybe, you'll get to the part about the legend he's supposed to be honoring. 👏💀

Thank you for the ever-pertinent reminder to read these brilliant expositions.

Quiet manifestos by two masters in #CS. They are must reads for anyone who is interested in designing systems and tools, in any field. The calls for #simplicity, economy & useability are of universal relevance. And these biographically motivated essays are themselves models in simplicity and concreteness, resting unboastingly on the personal achievements of their authors.
