At the time, the C language was extremely flexible (in other words, lots of ways to shoot yourself in the foot) and the compiler was mostly of the philosophy - if there's a way to make sense of the statement, generate some code, somehow. Anyway, lint made sense to me as the crud that gets mixed in with the real fabric. And a linter is a machine that identifies and removes that crud. Well, the lint program didn't remove anything, but it identified a lot of it. I didn't hear the term linter till decades later. -- DaveA
