What Hacker News says?
At some point I was quite interested in how the very first version of FORTRAN looked like, so I wrote a FizzBuzz [1] in it. It was a very bare-bones language, felt more like a high-level assembly macro language. One thing it did well was expressing formulas with the usual "mathematical" notations (+,-,*,/, parentheses to group operations, variables). I guess this was revolutionary at the time. But the control struct…

HN discussionThis reminded me of https://mveg.es/posts/writing-a-device-driver-for-unix-v6/ , which was recently discussed here under https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30679923 Also... have you considered contributing this content to the NetBSD Internals book? https://www.netbsd.org/docs/internals/en/netbsd-internals.ht... :)
