Z:gnu-www-ja-gnu-linux-faq--36fa0f-The first such recursive acron/en

The first such recursive acronym was TINT, &ldquo;TINT Is Not TECO&rdquo;. The author of TINT wrote another implementation of TECO (there were already many of them, for various systems), but instead of calling it by a dull name like &ldquo; somethingorother TECO&rdquo;, he thought of a clever amusing name. (That's what hacking means: playful cleverness.)
