          He also didn’t invent a programming language.
          For a file system you only get one murder.

        I think there’s a personality anti-correlation that keeps this mostly exclusive.

        Serial killers tend to be more outgoing and active (to a troubling degree), whereas coders who create their own languages tend to be indoors types who don’t mind sitting in one place for long periods.

        I mean there are plenty of psychologies that could make for someone who does both, but it would seem to reduce the odds a lot.

          Yeah, I guess a competent programmer would rather go for paralllel killing.

      8 / 10.

      But it wasn’t fair. I actually met Guido at a PyCon conference.

      The more unkempt and dishevelled they look, the more likely they are to be a language inventor.

      I scored 8/10, but I should get a pass for guessing the inventor of python is a serial killer.
