FWIW, history usually shows that most inventions don't depend on one
particular person inventing that thing, but rather on a particular
context making that thing desirable/reachable/useful, at which point
some (set of) people usually invent similar things around the same time.

So while the world might look a bit different if
Smalltalk/Lisp/younameit hadn't been invented, it probably wouldn't be
all that different since someone else would have invented something
similar anyway.
