...In his storied career, Gosling has built satellite data acquisition
systems, a multiprocessor version of UNIX, plus several compilers,
mail systems and window managers. He has also built a WYSIWYG text
editor, a constraint-based drawing editor and a text editor called
"Emacs" for UNIX systems.

In the article's feedback form, I sent them a polite comment about
Richard Stallman.
