#Yo!
John is quite capable of speaking for himself, and he will – but
during the first five years or so of the Amiga he was in charge of
the C compiler division of SAS, and had much to do with the writing
of the Lattice (now SAS) C compiler, among other things. His
contributions to the Amiga community would take a very, very long
message. We are truly fortunate to have him here, in my opinion.
