Also, it would be nice if you'd complement that with describing how the world span at the time. I find that often putting some happenings in context helps understanding choices and events better.
Thank you in advance!

Truer words were never spoken.
"I went from application to application trying to use the same techniques. The most encouraging thing is that they would work. After 2-3 years during which time the language had grown by accretion, it grew and grew, eventually I found it was shrinking.
Essentially the idea was once you look at enough different applications you begin to see what is the general notion. So I came to generalisations that allowed me to take out whole chunks of special things I had put in.
Furthermore to my surprise it turns out the general ideas are usually much simpler to understand than any of the special cases."
