Alan Kay or DHH?
gecko: Wow.  That just makes me amazingly sad--not simply because it's factually wrong, but because attributing it to DHH loses its impact.  DHH is an amazingly egotistical man who made a couple of somewhat popular websites and an okay web framework.  Alan Kay, working with Dan Ingalls and other luminaries at Xerox PARC, invented many of the concepts that define what a personal computer means today.  I am profoundly sad to see such historical ignorance.
