John McCarthy (1927 - 2011)

A few days ago the programming and technology community lost yet another pioneer, John McCarthy, creator of the LISP programming language.

Although I don't know much about the man behind the programming language, nor the programming language itself, I felt that it was my duty to pay respects to a man admired by many for his contributions.

Here's an article that details his life and accomplishments....

Thank You, Mr. McCarthy for all that you have done and shared with so many.

God Speed....
