Created Perl — There's More Than One Way To Do It — the duct tape of the early web, and later Raku.

Created Perl Raku

Created Perl (1987) — linguist-programmer who made TIMTOWTDI the creed and 'lazy, impatient, hubris' the virtues — and gave the State of the Onion talks.\n\nDesigned Perl 6/Raku for a decade; his languages reflect his belief that programming should be like natural language.
