Knuth did TeX. LaTeX was Leslie Lamport. LaTex is short for Lamport TeX.
Quite the exclusive clique they've got there.
I grant your point, but that's a bit like saying Einstein was a good physicist.
Prove what wrong?
I think comp1927 means Knuth proves that one can get better with age. Which is a fine point, but Donald Knuth is a difficult lead to follow.
Keep in mind that Knuth is not a software engineer - he makes his living as a tenured professor at Stanford (these days professor emeritus).
