So, Donald Knuth has a web page full of programs illustrating aspects of his work. Why don't other famous computer science/computer engineering figures?<p>For example, Watts Humphrey - where's his code, dude? If PSP is so hot, why didn't it let him write a bunch of super cool stuff? Yes, I know Humphrey is dead, but do you suppose for a moment that Knuth's code will go away when he dies?<p>Humphrey is just one example of many. Without showing us the code, I think the "experts" should just go away.
