There's a back story. The paper appears in the proceedings of a
conference held in London in 1973, a few months after the advent of
pipes. While preparing the presentation, Ken was inspired to invent
and install the pipe operator. His talk wouldn't have been nearly as
compelling had it been expressed in the original pipeline syntax (for
which I take the blame).
Now I'm curious. Is there anywhere I can read about the original pipeline syntax? I
tried searching a bit, but the only mention that was even vaguely informative only stated
that > was involved.
Thanks!
