- John Wainwright (computer scientist)
John Wainwright is a computer scientist, born in Australia, who has pioneered the development of pure object-based computer languages. He is the principal architect of two computer languages, ScriptX (1992-1996) and MaxScript (1996).
In 1992, Wainwright sold Apple Computer his structural framework for an object based, language and virtual machine operating system called Objects in C. He became the lead architect for ScriptX, a language and media player developed by Kaleida Labs.
After Kaleida Labs closed its doors in 1996, Wainwright went on to serve as the principal architect of MaxScript, a language that has been used in gaming and 3D applications such as the Maxis Sims programs. Maxscript extends the original paradigm of ScriptX to encompass additional multimedia features, as well as 3D graphics.
