A comment on Computer Vision in 1982 Using Altair Computers and a Cromemco Cyclops Camera. Parent comment
1982 was also the year that gave us "Real Programmers Don't Use PASCAL" (http://web.mit.edu/humor/Computers/real.programmers) and "The Story of Mel" (https://www.cs.utah.edu/~elb/folklore/mel.html) would appear just one year later.
A selected quote from the latter: """ Real Programmers write in FORTRAN. Maybe they do now, in this decadent era of Lite beer, hand calculators, and "user-friendly" software """
