Donald E. Kluth (creator of LaTex back in 1978) Don't know if he's still around, though

I think that Donald Knuth did not create LaTeX. He created TeX. LaTeX is a macro package built on top of TeX by Leslie Lamport.

My mistake, you're perfectly right Harishankar, Knuth created Tex78, Lamport wrote a special version

of it which is called LaTex. The name Knuth sounds funny in French, I've always liked it

Anyway, I'd like to see one of these men interviewed
