He sounded like a wonderful person in terms of ideas, communication & empathy. I feel sadder than on the day Alan Kay passed.
To those with whom I share the morbid curiosity about how it happened, I'd like to mention a movie ending that came to mind.
Griever: Tell me how he died.
Friend: I will tell you how he lived.
- alankay 7y agoRumors of my passing have been greatly exaggerated!
- alankay 7y agoP.S. Joe and I have had the most wonderful conversations, right up to a few months ago. We'll miss him terribly and remember him vividly!
- wyatwerp 7y agoFoot in mouth there! For that, I apologize as profusely as possible online. P.S: FWIW, I was thinking of John McCarthy there, must have gotten confused by recalling Joe Armstrong's interview with Alan Kay. I am also a big fan of Alan Kay, landing up at Erlang's doorstep after playing a little with Squeak.
