alt Hacker NewsMiguel de Icaza is kind of a legend, I know him most from his work on Mono and Gnome. Whatever he works on today will likely be part of a stack you work on in a few years (at least that's my experience).

If I don’t use Mono or Gnome, what else from him is part of my stack today?

respect to icaza for his contributions (tho I was on the KDE side of the gnome/kde desktop "wars"), but has the "Whatever he works on today will likely be part of a stack you work on in a few years" been true for a long time?
i'm rather unfamiliar with his work post-mono.

He also wrote (or at least started) midnight commander!
Also, let's not forget he's the one who brought Swift to the Godot engine https://github.com/migueldeicaza/SwiftGodot
Related, for everyone interested into Godot + Swift, check out https://github.com/johnsusek/SwiftGodotBuilder I think Swift might soon be a crazy ergonomic language to make Godot games.
