This is ridiculous. Not only is Bellard no longer involved, but to say 'written' implies he did this by himself.

You wouldn't say Linux Torvalds wrote Linux. It's literally written by thousands of people.

I work with people like this, and I hate it when people say "I wrote X feature." No, no you didn't. It was written by a whole team.



I don't see anything wrong with this. It's like saying "Apple is built by Steve Jobs" even though obviously a lot more people are involved, and even if Jobs is no longer even around.


No. That's not a good comparison. No one would say that about a company. A product, yes, but not a company. Steve Jobs founded, and led Apple.
