Who is the world's oldest working programmer?

On reading his quotes he sounds very bitter and twisted about all the languages in common use in commercial and scientific computing when he wrote that quote (around 1975 I believe)... He slates Basic, Cobol, Fortran, APL and PL1.. This reminds me of Henry Ford who said "History is Mostly Bunk" and who then pillaged the world for artefacts for his museum......
