That doesn't mean it makes sense to anyone ... Graham and his cofounder (and later Trevor Blackwell) all wrote different areas of the product, in different languages. Joe Armstrong (creator of Joe's Abstract Machine) has also argued very recently for this kind of development. I'll be the first to admit that I haven't seen it work myself. But when the people practicing it are at that level, maybe the problem is just that there aren't enough really good programmers?
