Wow! One of the professors whom they interviewed and are quoting throughout the article is Richard O'Keefe: The author of "The Craft of Prolog" and very famous Prolog, Erlang and Smalltalk programmer in the respective communities who even has his own Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_O%27Keefe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_O%27Keefe
His personal web page is also full of interesting texts about very diverse topics, and well worth a look:

- tacomonstrous 9y agoSo I went and read the piece on whether mathematics is invented or discovered, and found it to be surprisingly shallow. Hope this isn't an indication of his other work (which I'm much less qualified to evaluate).
- zmonx 9y agoInteresting. Personally, I found the observation about the pulsations of the jellyfish quite insightful and a good and very short counterargument against the quoted opinion. There are other texts too on the page, which you may find better. I can only say that in all the language communities Richard used to post and still posts (notably Prolog and Erlang) he enjoys tremendous respect and is known for his technical expertise on very diverse topics. He is definitely a top-notch computer scientist and instructor who enjoys worldwide recognition in the relevant circles.
