No, too non-seq.  Knuth has never written anything about C or Python
that I can think of; nor about socket programming, come to think of it.

Perhaps you could substitute "Stevens", though I'm not sure that anyone
not a pure Unixhead would agree that he dominated that field the way
Knuth did his.  :-)

The way I was doing stuff was not about money, and I am not at all resentful
of companies that have made money from Samba. At the same time, if they all
went away, we would still have a great community to work on stuff. I think
of the last year or two as being the biggest private investment in public
works in decades.  -- Andrew Tridgell, c. 2001
