Carl Eddie Hewitt (/ˈhjuːɪt/; 1944 – 7 December 2022)[2] was an American computer scientist who designed the Planner programming language for automated planning[3] and the actor model of concurrent computation,[4] which have been influential in the development of logic, functional and object-oriented programming. Planner was the first programming language based on procedural plans invoked using pattern-directed invocation from assertions and goals. The actor model influenced the development of the Scheme programming language,[5] the π-calculus,[6] and served as an inspiration for several other programming languages.[7]
