Knuth did TeX. LaTeX was Leslie Lamport. LaTex is short for Lamport TeX.

I think comp1927 means Knuth proves that one can get better with age. Which is a fine point, but Donald Knuth is a difficult lead to follow.

Keep in mind that Knuth is not a software engineer - he makes his living as a tenured professor at Stanford (these days professor emeritus).
