Embarrassing that I use bash everyday and didn't know about Stephen Bourne. Shameful.
I also just learned Bash was developed by Brian Fox after Stallman became dissatisfied with progress on it in 1988 as a free software replacement for the Bourne shell.
We don't celebrate these guys enough, I wish there was more recognition, more of a public face and profile for all these pioneers.
