Who is JWZ? Is he well-known as a techie? As a techie who runs a non-tech business, I find him interesting due to the fact that he runs a nightclub.


Jamie Zawinski was an early Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, and XEmacs developer. He now runs a nightclub:

He's interesting for far more reasons than running a night club. If you get a chance, check out Coders at Work---he's the first chapter (interview).


It's interesting because he's still mad that Perl killed Lisp 20 years ago.


It's fine to leave me at 0 points but why was I down-voted? In what way have I violated the spirit of the site with this honest question?

"Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."
