I'm a part of hacker lore

In a post celebrating Donald Knuth's 70th birthday (which was apparently yesterday), "Good Math, Bad Math" wrote:

TeX is more than just a typesetting system. It's a full-fledged programming language. It is absolutely turing complete - as a proof of that, a lunatic by the name of Andrew Greene wrote a complete, usable BASIC interpreter in TeX!

It's been almost twenty years since I wrote that, and here it is being cited as the extreme to which TeXhackery has been taken. I'm honored.

(Thanks to sethg_prime for the pointer, and for defending me in that forum.)
