Quote: Knuth on Dijkstra

One of the pleasures I’ve had over the years is to play four-hands piano music with Edsger. … When we’re playing a Haydn waltz the thing I had to get used to was that Edsger doesn’t count one-two-three, one-two-three it’s always zero-one-two, zero-one-two.

-Don Knuth, 2000
