    and Dennis Ritchie (co-inventors of Unix and
    C), Richard M. Stallman (inventor of
    EMACS), Larry Wall (inventor of
    Perl), Linus Torvalds (inventor of
    Linux), and most recently James Gosling (inventor of
    Java, NeWS, and GOSMACS) and
    Guido van Rossum (inventor of Python). In their
    hearts of hearts, most hackers dream of someday becoming demigods
    themselves, and more than one major software project has been driven to
    completion by the authors veiled hopes of apotheosis. See also
    net.god, true-hacker,
    ubergeek. Since 1995 or so this term has been
    gradually displaced by ubergeek.
