Quirky: who is this guy on the clojure leiningen homepage?
The leiningen homepage features an elderly gentleman apparently named "Leiningen". For me, "Leiningen" calls the municipality in Germany . So who is Mr. Leininen?

Leiningen is the protagonist of the story of Carl Stevenson, a plantation owner facing a horde of billions of predatory ants. Leiningen is mentioned only by his last name in history.
The title was chosen as a game in the Java Ant build tool .
The Leiningen tool subtitle for automating Clojure projects without setting your hair on fire
refers to both the alleged complexity of Java Ant and how Leiningen ends up fighting ants by donning a protective suit and setting it on fire.
