T3X dates back to the early 1990's, where C-style syntax was not as ubiquitous as it is now.



I'd apparently misguessed that the minilanguage was created for the book.

Though if you'd care to share a link or something, I'm now curious how it -did- come to exist.


I just wanted a simple language for writing down algorithms, so I think I hacked up the first version in one afternoon. It must have been T2, because AFAIR I never implemented T1. Here is a page containing some of the past T3X compilers: http://t3x.org/t3x/ and here is an incomplete and inaccurate history of T3X: http://t3x.org/t3x/family.html
