In fact, the problems with Martin's version were even worse than
what John pointed out; a few I found, others I saw on reddit or
hacker news.

Briefly, Martin's program fails to check its input and will
throw an exception due to an out-of-bounds array access for n<1.
It will also do that for n<2, which means that his version
cannot be used to return a list that contains only the first
prime.  Furthermore, in his relentless drive to decompose into
arbitrarily smaller functions, he scatters state around a class,
but he stores it in static class members, meaning that his
implementation is not thread safe.  Also, he stores the squares
of primes into an array eagerly, as he finds each prime; but
once primes exceed 2^16, this will overflow the value in his
prime multiples array.  In the original algorithm (acutally due
to Dijkstra, not Knuth), they were only added to the prime
multiples array when necessary.

Yes.  John's version had some problems; not as many as Martin's
version, but then again John is actually competent, while Martin
is a charlatan and a blowhard.

I came with a version that I liked somewhat better, and sent it
along with a rather lengthy email to John's mailing list.  No
one has responded, however, so I fear it was not well received.
