I thought it was developed by the two brothers? I've seen talks and interviews by both brothers on DF.

like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMRsScwdPcE

and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtKmLciKO30

One of the brothers is the main developer and ideas guy, the other is more the admin/idea control/art role
psyc
This is StackOverflow, and the interview is about code, so they probably mean developer in that sense. Tarn is the only programmer.
