Knuth Interview Posted

My interview with Donald Knuth is now posted. It's a long piece, that has some unusually interesting points, including:

- why Knuth doesn't believe in designing code for reuse
- he's most unconvinced of multithreading and multicore on the desktop
- discussion of the tools he uses to program and write (including Ubuntu)
- etc.

A very fun read (and a fun interview to do).
