Some might not know that the K in AWK stands for Kernighan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AWK And Brian Kernighan has done a lot more than what I've read in this thread so far (though I've not read the full thing yet, and of course, it changes over time). His overall influence on the field of software also extends far beyond his own direct work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Kernighan He is one of my top software gurus, since early in my career, since I worked a lot with Unix, from early on, but not only due to his Unix work and writing. I've used the knowledge and wisdom
in some of his books to great advantage, throughout my career, and will be forever thankful to him and the rest of the early as well as later Unix "gang" for that. |
