Alan Holden, the inventor of the MOVA programming language, doesn't mention it on his resume, which isn't entirely surprising since it never really existed.
Holden, a California-based application developer, gave the language a name, which stands for
Multiple Object Versionless Architecture, but not much else. There's no documentation, no standard library, nada.
As he explained in a phone interview with
The Register, MOVA was intended to be vaporware. Its reason for being, back during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, was to weed out recruiters and job applicants, who were overabundant at the time.
