Thanks most of all to Ted Nelson, who tirelessly seeks to demonstrate how the natural language of the human brain could be instantiated in modern software. (See Project Xanadu.) He invented hypertext, one of the essential features of the Internet. QDL is based on Nelson's more powerful concept of transclusion (the ability to embed some or all of one document into another, by linking instead of copying and pasting).
