writes: injoke - recursion For early references to recursion injokes, I have this for you; During the latter part of the 70גs and early 80גs (well before the גג¦1983 publication of The Hacker's Dictionary by Guy L. Steele et al.ג) there was a spate of mid-size computers that came out on the market; these went by various terms such as גmini-computerג, גsuperminiן·computerג, גworkstationג etc. In addition to the well-known VAX from the גDigital Electronics Companyג (DEC), there were Data-General, Celerity, Prime computers and a bevy of others. During that time I worked with גPrimeג whose operating system was named (guess what) גPRIMOSג ג surprise. Anyway in the index of the users manual there was this: Circular Reference see Recursion And on another page Recursion see Circular Reference (This may be edited for length and accuracy of details) | ||
