alt Hacker NewsI haven't watched this yet. With all due respect, why John Romero instead of John Carmack for a C++ documentary ?

I'm pretty sure they first asked the other John and got a rejection :)

A documentary can't always get who they want to get.
Romero was a prolific programmer himself back in the day. He's become more known as a designer because Carmack took over as the main engine programmer at id, but Romero was still writing tooling and editors, in addition to doing the level design.
