Interview with Doug Crockford, creator of JSON

He also wrote what is, imho, one of the best programming language books, JavaScript: The Good Parts. (<a href="http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596517748" rel="nofollow">http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596517748</a>) I found it super handy mostly because he made no claims that JS is the best thing ever. A lot of it sucks and he admits that. Which I found super refreshing from the standard "ZOMG X IS TEH BEST EVAR! USE X AND GOLD COINS WILL FALL FROM THE SKY!" of most programming language books.

I wonder if he minds being called the "creator of JSON"? Yes, he created the standard, but I imagine the notation was really decided by Brendan Eich (author of original JS implementation).
