Rich Hickey

Rich Hickey is the creator of the Clojure programming language, a Lisp dialect built on top of the Java Virtual Machine.
Before Clojure, he developed dotLisp, a similar project based on the .NET platform.
Hickey is an independent software developer and a consultant with over 20 years of experience in many facets of software development. He has worked on scheduling systems, broadcast automation, audio analysis and fingerprinting, database design, yield management, exit poll systems, and machine listening.
He spent about 2½ years working on Clojure before releasing it to the world, much of that time working exclusively on Clojure without external funding. When he finally announced it, the announcement consisted of one email to some friends in the Common Lisp community.
