Carl Ludwig Siegel wrote in 1964:

    The whole style of the author contradicts the sense for simplicity
    and honesty which we admire in the works of the masters in number
    theory - Lagrange, Gauss, or on a smaller scale, Hardy, Landau. Just
    now Lang has published another book on algebraic numbers which, in
    my opinion, is still worse than the former one. I see a pig broken
    into a beautiful garden and rooting up all flowers and trees.

He might have been writing about WJ's O'Caml code.
