Potentially interesting:
Prof. Brian Kernighan talks about how grep came into existence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTfOnGZUZDk -- <mort> choosing a terrible license just to be spiteful towards others is possibly the most tux0r thing I've ever seen |

Interesting indeed.
I always assumed that grep somehow "evolved" at a rather slow pace: I thought that people were using "g/re/p" in ed all the time, so they eventually felt the need to simplify that task and wrote grep. But no, of course, it just happened over night. :-) |
