@dragon the graph algs prof i adored had a massive grudge against dijkstra for taking credit for other people's ideas and it seems we have no shortage of modern dijkstras

@dragon e.g. "dijkstra's" algorithm is more appropriately considered an extension of prim's algorithm and this is why i don't like naming things after people also makes them harder to learn. at least lambda calculus isn't some shit like church calculus
