Learned to write code with Roberto, the founder of lua, in my graduation but only found out about that once I had already graduated.
Really good teacher.

Back in 2019, a group of students was organizing a week of computer science in my university (IME-USP) and they were collecting suggestions. I suggest to bring Roberto to talk something about Lua without hope that the suggestion would be accepted and that he would come. And when I checked the schedule I saw that he would present in that week.
Not only that, the day before his presentation the professors of our department arranged an informal conversation with him, and I was there. Lua is probably one of software projects that I admire the most due to it has been created to solve a problem and that solves it well, without trying to be more than that. Seeing Roberto speaking about it so close was really a memorable moment.
