Previously, he also was the head of Sierra’s AGI and SCI system programmers and responsible for much of the code of both of those languages. He originally called it LSCI, for Large-model Script Code Interpreter, and later SCI because it ran scripts, before it became known as Sierra Creative Interpreter.
