I know. I entered an entirely different title: "Growing a Language (presentation by Guy Steele, 1998)". I'm not sure how and why it was changed.



The 'e' thing was just a temporary typo by a moderator. The title change was presumably because "presentation by" is redundant (and not in the original).

But mostly we take the author's/presenter's name out of titles, in keeping with HN's focus on content over personalities.


May I ask how many mods are working on HN ? I naively thought you were the chosen one.


Guy Steele isn't a personality and his content is always king.


Indeed, which is why it can speak for itself.
