I know the project is in terrific hands. Alice's lead designer is Dennis Cosgrove, who was a student of mine at the University of Virginia. Another former student who became a colleague is Caitlin Kelleher. She looked at "Alice" in its earliest stages and said to me, "I know this makes programming easier, but why is it fun?" I replied: "Well, I'm a compulsive male and I like to make little toy soldiers move around on my command, and that's fun."
