Character Sketches
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.
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.
