Another tidbit: https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.04188 FAQ 1: Why did you create arXiv if journals already existed? Has it developed as
you had expected? Answer: Conventional journals did not start coming online until the mid to late
1990s. I originally envisioned it as an expedient hack, a quick-and-dirty email-transponder written in csh to provide short-term access to electronic versions of preprints until the existing paper distribution system could catch up, within about three months. So it was in csh on NeXT. Tim Berners-Lee also developed the web on NeXT! |
