Donald Knuth’s 2022 ‘Christmas Tree’ lecture is about trees
-
This year, 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of that fateful day in 1962 when a 24-year-old Donald Knuth started writing “The Art of Computer Programming.”
"I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree."
Or even a hash.

Well, I watched a few minutes of the lecture. Then I went out and looked at the first 3 pages of Volume 1. About the same as I've done for the last 20 years or so. And somehow I still don't have vast knowledge of algorithms!! I supposed I just need some more work with HTML, JavaScript & CSS and I'll understand the things that Knuth talks about. :rolleyes:
