Totally unrelated to the topic but for my fellow Portuguese geeks, `Damas` is the same Damas that wrote the famous (or infamous) Portuguese C book. Blew my mind when I found out.

I'm not familiar with this book. Anything particular about it that would cause infamy?

at least in my circles it was considered way inferior to K&R. I read both and enjoyed both for totally different reasons.

But some Portuguese might remember "Samad" a mock person used in some of the examples. Which of course is "Damas" spelled backwards.
