+Marpa::R2::Acknowledgments - Marpa acknowledgements
+
+=head1 Acknowledgments
+
+Marpa is
+directly derived from two other parsers.
+The first was discovered by
+John Aycock and
+R.  Nigel Horspool
+and is described in their
+L<Aycock and Horspool 2002|Marpa::R2::Advanced::Bibliography/"Aycock and Horspool 2002">.
+The second was described by Joop Leo and is described in
+L<Leo 1991|Marpa::R2::Advanced::Bibliography/"Leo 1991">.
+Aycock, Horspool, and Leo, in turn, based their
+algorithms on the
+L<algorithm discovered by Jay Earley|Marpa::R2::Advanced::Bibliography/"Earley 1970">.
+I combined the Aycock-Horspool algorithm with the Leo algorithm,
+and added significant changes of my own.
+
+I'm grateful to Randal Schwartz for his support over the years that
+I've been working on Marpa.
+My chats with
+Larry Wall have been few and brief,
+but his openness to new ideas has been
+a major encouragement
+and his insight into the relationship between
+"natural language" and computer language
+has been a major influence.
+More recently,
+Allison Randal and Patrick Michaud have been generous with their
+very valuable time.
+They might have preferred that I volunteered as a Parrot cage-cleaner,
+but if so, they were too polite to say.
+
+Many at perlmonks.org answered questions for me.
+I used answers from
+chromatic, Corion, dragonchild,
+jdporter, samtregar and Juerd,
+among others,
+in writing this module.
+I'm just as grateful to those whose answers I didn't use.
+My inquiries were made while I was thinking out the code and
+it wasn't always 100% clear what I was after.
+If the butt is moved after the round,
+it shouldn't count against the archer.
+
+In writing the Pure Perl version of Marpa, I benefited from studying
+the work of Francois Desarmenien (C<Parse::Yapp>),
+Damian Conway (C<Parse::RecDescent>) and
+Graham Barr (C<Scalar::Util>).
+Adam Kennedy patiently instructed me
+in module writing,
+both on the finer points and
+on issues about which I really should have know better.
+
+I am very grateful to Ruslan Zakirov for generously
+starting, and agreeing to moderate,
+the "Marpa parser" mailing list.
+It is hard to describe how important
+informed and constructive feedback 
+is to a lone laborer on
+a complex and large project like Marpa,
+and I greatly appreciate all the
+contributors to the list.
+In addition to Ruslan,
+Peter Stuifzand and Ron Savage stand out
+for their contributions.
+I am especially grateful to Ron,
+who has been a very aggressive early adopter
+of all Marpa's versions.
