John Backus is dead.
John Backus was the inventor of FORTRAN. In addition to being the first high-level computer language, FORTRAN was the first language I personally learned, and it's still in widespread use today. That's a legacy to be proud of.
He died on March 17th, 2007, in his own home, of old age. Plain, honest old age. Now that's the way to go.
