Yeah, in that same year I was using "LPC" in an LPMUD called "Lost Souls". I think that's a precursor to Pike, but I'm not certain about the family tree.

I had learned Basic when I was young, and my coursework had pushed me to learn Pascal and C, but I really think it's LPC that pushed me towards a career in programming.

Yes, I am also under the impression that Pike grew out of LPC (and I, too, really cut my teeth on LPC).

Yeah, it did.
