Turing Award goes to Aho and Ullman
Thoroughly deserved.<p>My "Dragon Book" story is I went for a haircut in a pretty high-end salon.  As a guy who was used to getting cheap haircuts in bargain places, I was feeling very out of place, which only became worse when they seated me next to a very glamourous-looking woman who was having a bunch of different highlighting and colouring things done to her hair.<p>Then I noticed the book she was reading - the dragon book.  We ended up having a fantastic conversation.
