I have trouble with that, given the examples of Pascal,
Modula, and AED. Maybe you put "Gurus" in quotes to indicate
an awareness of the difference between the hacker-type Unix/EMACS/C
expert and the truly wise, deep understanding of a Wirth or Ross.
There is a lot to be said for the uniformity of a language developed
by a single person from a single paradigm.
