@matigo I'm always on the look out for 33 (and variations). The No Agenda thesis has always been that 33 is used as some sort of signal, as the number seems to appear more often than chance would suggest. Still not sure what it means.
@skematica yup, that's me. I can haz CPAP. Does wonders for me, even on nights I don't sleep enough.

@jws Well that explains the choice anyway. I have to assume this won't change until someone does a similar effort with another language.
@larand I'm using trust.zone. It's a little more fiddly and only supports up to 3 devices, but it's $14/year cheaper and a bit better on privacy.

@jussipekonen All good questions, of course. On its face, it seems we should be using something just a bit more modern. That said, I thought stuff like Backus Naur Form [en.wikipedia.org] was invented to torture unsuspecting Computer Science students1 and the continued use of Java may be just another form of that. :P
I have a footnote to this effect in the two books I wrote
