John Hughes is a very busy man

John Hughes is truly amazing. First, he wrote the tune
Cwm Rhondda
This is the backbone for a number of classic hymns, including "Guide
me ever great redeemer" and "God of grace and God of glory." It’s a
wonderfully evocative tune.

Beyond that, he wrote and directed most of the 80s: Home Alone,
Beethoven, Uncle Buck, Weird Science, Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club,
Sixteen Candles, and the National Lampoon movies.

And if that weren’t enough, he’s the author of a nice structuring idea
for computation, called Arrows. His
paper setting out
these ideas is very nice, though the later
tutorial
is probably
a better start.
