Character Sketches
Lisp
The ancient architect whose blueprints everyone copies but nobody credits. Lisp invented garbage collection, conditionals, recursion, and the very concept of code-as-data in 1958, then watched sixty years of languages reinvent its ideas with different syntax.
OCaml
The quiet genius in the corner who invented half of modern type theory and never got credit. OCaml's type system is a masterpiece; its ecosystem is an archaeology dig.
