Stiff asks, great programmers answer
Someone posted this on the TPA mailing list.
Someone e-mailed some programming related questions to some of the
greatest programmers (this is debatable) around:
Linus Torvalds - The Linux kernel author
Dave Thomas - Author of the „Pragmmatic Programmer", „Programming
Ruby" and other great books about programming. One can read his mainly
programming-related thoughts here.
David Heinemeier Hansson - Author of the Rails Framework - the new hot
web development framework. He has a weblog here.
Steve Yegge - Proably the least known from guys here, but also made
one of the most interestings answers, has a popular weblog about
programming. He is also the author of a game called „Wyvern".
Peter Norvig - Research Director at Google, a well known Lisper,
author of famous (in some circles at least) books about AI. See his
homepage.
Guido Van Rossum - The Python language creator
Bjarne Stroustrup - C++ creator, has a homepage here
James Gosling - The Java language creator
