Murray Hill, Amsterdam, Mountain View and Santa Clara, 1969 to 2021. Four languages are built by very small numbers of people and then have to answer a question none of their authors asked first: who decides what the language is? Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie write UNIX inside a telephone monopoly barred from selling software, so it leaves the building almost free and is licensed back later at a price. Guido van Rossum holds Python's last word for twenty-eight years and gives it up in one message in July 2018. Brendan Eich writes JavaScript in ten days and then watches a standards committee argue about it for twenty years. James Gosling's Java reaches the Supreme Court. The code turns out to have been the easy part. Covers Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Guido van Rossum, Brendan Eich, James Gosling, Bell Telephone Laboratories, AT&T, Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica, and Netscape Communications.
