I just realized I didn't give credit to all the people who worked on Little. So here goes. Tim Daly did the first pass. Oscar Bonilla stepped up, I still remember him saying to Tim "we need an AST" and Tim said I can do this. We needed an AST, Oscar was right about that and a lot of other things. Rob Netzer, my roommate from college and former Brown tenured prof, he did the most heavy lifting in the Little compiler. Damon Courtney was our GUI guy, he had huge influence in Little.

Jeff Hobbs from the tcl community helped as well. I have pictures of that group of people. Jeff helped a lot, he wanted this, I could say why but I don't want to speak for him.

Little is what I'd like C to be but those guys made it happen.

I'm amazed that Little got some traction, happy that it did for a moment, those guys deserve all the credit, I was a whiny dude wanted a more C like thing and they gave it to me.
