Also informative is the article's 1 comment is from Alan Kay:

> Roger and I were “friends” — kind of “New York friends” — since we met at the Stanford AI project in late 69 or early 70 — so about 53 years or so. He was really great at thinking things out from scratch — like an ancient Greek — and some of his insights really helped make progress.
