We're happy to announce the first publication of The Story of Mel in Hebrew.

The publication sees first light within the 13th volume of the literary periodical Dehak.

This is the first time the story sees light within an actual literary platform, as a piece of actual folklore.

Along with the translation we've added an introductory preface, and 50-some sidenotes, to ease the read for the non-tech reader.

Full text, with preface and comments will soon be published on Mel's Loop website.

Today we launch Mel's Loop to honor the 90th birthday of Mel Kaye, a real programmer, who passed away ~3 years ago. Mel's story lives on in the epic 80's hacker folklore The Story of Mel, which is as old as the internet itself.

The project’s goal is to delve into the early days of the computer age in California, where the story takes place, and follow the events, figures, technologies and surroundings of the story, in an era of lawless coders, where software could be forged out of whim and brilliance.
