I haven't watched this yet. With all due respect, why John Romero instead of John Carmack for a C++ documentary ?

Romero was a prolific programmer himself back in the day. He's become more known as a designer because Carmack took over as the main engine programmer at id, but Romero was still writing tooling and editors, in addition to doing the level design.
Wow! This is an excellent info.
A documentary can't always get who they want to get.
I'm pretty sure they first asked the other John and got a rejection :)
