2/10.

Surprised that Hans Reiser wasn't on the list. (Or I didn't see him.)



As far as we're aware, he doesn't belong to either category (yet).


Oh yeah, that makes sense.

I keep forgetting he killed just his wife, not his kids as well.


And I think spree and serial killings are different things.


That one is a trick question if sorts.


Nope; he wrote a file system, not a programming language.


Personally I think of him as a murderer first and a programmer second.


wow you are almost exactly backwards. do you hate language inventors?


Not really. I just assumed nearly everyone was a programmer.

"Wow, what a sweet old lady. I'm guessing she invented Fortra-- oh, she, murdered people for their social security checks."
