Andy Gavin

Andy Gavin is a programmer notable for co-founding the Naughty Dog video game company in 1986. Naughty Dog's games (most famously, Crash Bandicoot) are known for the quality of their in-game AI; this is often credited to Gavin's background in LISP at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Gavin created the Game Oriented Assembly Lisp-programming language when developing Jak and Daxter. Consequently, the game runs in a variant of LISP on the Playstation 2, instead of the more conventional C++ programming language.
