Re: [TUHS] [tuhs] ACM Turing Award for 2020: Unix roots

I've got "The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms" and "Principles of Compiler Design" aka the "Dragon Book" on my shelf. Congrats to both! From: "Nelson H. F. Beebe" <beebe(a)math.utah.edu> To: "The Unix Heritage Society mailing list" <tuhs(a)minnie.tuhs.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2021 1:23:25 PM Subject: [TUHS] [tuhs] ACM Turing Award for 2020: Unix roots This just came in: ACM has named Alfred Vaino Aho and Jeffrey David Ullman recipients of the 2020 ACM A. M. Turing Award https://awards.acm.org/about/2020-turing for fundamental algorithms and theory underlying programming language implementation and for synthesizing these results and those of others in their highly influential books, which educated generations of computer scientists. Most of us probably have several of their books on the shelf; I certainly do! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H. F.
