Richard Greenblatt [1]
Richard D. Greenblatt,
an American computer programmer, along with Bill Gosper considered the co-founder of the hacker community [2] . At MIT, working for the Project MAC (Machine-Aided Cognition), he was the main implementor of Maclisp on the PDP-6 and co-developer of the ITS (Incompatible Timesharing System), the operating system on which MacLisp was developed.
Richard Greenblatt was primary author of Mac Hack (The Greenblatt Chess Program) in 1966 and 1967, and along with Tom Knight main designer of the MIT Lisp machine. In 1978 Mac Hack got adapted to the Chess-orientated Processing System CHEOPS, one of the first dedicated hardware approaches in computer chess.
In 1979, Greenblatt founded Lisp Machines, Inc. to build and sell Lisp machines, competing with Symbolics, a company founded by his former MIT AI Lab fellows around Russell Noftsker, Tom Knight and Jack Holloway. Lisp Machines, Inc. went bankrupt in 1987.
