L.S.,
I thought you might be interested to know, that I have translated one of prof. Edsger W. Dijkstra's writings to English[0]. I will submit this translation to the E. W. Dijkstra Archive of the University of Texas[1].
Comments: - "with which popular believe" (popular belief?) - "between day and night" (night and day is more idiomatic in English, isn't it?) - 'The advantage of this poetic license is that it allows us to put an algebraic expression as (a+b)/c, a program fragment as x := x+1, and a decimal number like 729 all three under the same heading "formula".' (all three is weirdly run together with the list) - "Our traditional argues" (?) The hyphenation also strikes me as odd but I guess not actually wrong. -- gwern http://www.gwern.net
