1. PostScript
A page description language, based on work originally done by John
Gaffney at Evans and Sutherland in 1976, evolving through ‘JaM’
(‘John and Martin’, Martin Newell) at XEROX
PARC, and finally implemented in its current form by John
Warnock et al. after he and Chuck Geschke founded Adobe Systems
Incorporated in 1982. PostScript gets its leverage by using a full
programming language, rather than a series of low-level escape sequences,
to describe an image to be printed on a laser printer or other output
device (in this it parallels EMACS, which exploited
a similar insight about editing tasks). It is also noteworthy for
implementing on-the fly rasterization, from Bezier curve descriptions, of
high-quality fonts at low (e.g. 300 dpi) resolution (it was formerly
believed that hand-tuned bitmap fonts were required for this task).
Hackers consider PostScript to be among the most elegant hacks of all time,
and the combination of technical merits and widespread availability has
made PostScript the language of choice for graphical output.
