What a gorgeously simple example!

Debbie Lapeyre
Ain't it the truth!

One account of the story of recursion in Algol:  https://vanemden.wordpress.com/2014/06/18/how-recursion-got-into-programming-a-comedy-of-errors-3/

According to Amazon, A Discipline of Programming is in its 59,638rd edition. Impressive!

Debbie Lapeyre
And not just for algorithms. When I was a little girl, the relational database was a lovely thought experiment that would never be implemented for lack of computing power and space
59,638 wow. There are no words.

Evan Lenz
Yes, there aren't any left

Geert Bormans
My copy has the date 1976 in it, no mentioning of "edition" so it must be the first

Evan Lenz
Amazon must not be using XML

C M Sperberg-McQueen
59,000 editions in 45 years, something more than three a day?  I never knew EJD was that popular :-)

Geert Bormans
starting from 1976 that means roughly 3,5 editions per day... mine looks already POD from Amazon. Not sure I will get $461 for it... worth the read however

Bob Stuart
Probably JASON that way they don't have to validate :)

C M Sperberg-McQueen
well, to be fair, it's hard to specify plausibility in a schema

Bob Stuart
Probably would not have thought of it but some schematron claiming more than N editions/X time is at best a warning could be safer

Glad to see listing of XForms implementations at https://www.w3.org/community/xformsusers/wiki/XForms_Implementations

Debbie Lapeyre
Agreed Bob
Thank you, Steven, many good things start at Balisage

Evan Lenz
👏

I missed some of that, Steven, because I had to go get the pizza, but the parts I heard were very nice. Well done.
