The first lint program I recall hearing of was available in the early
1980's, and was for the C language.  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.
