    Hi,

    Lion and Unicorn: H|Nkan Kjellerstrand R.I.P.

    By way of Neng-Fa Zhou:

    I am deeply saddened to learn that H|Nkan
    Kjellerstrand passed away on February 10. H|Nkan,
    a dedicated professional software engineer, played
    an important role in shaping the Picat language and
    system from its earliest days. He wrote more than
    a thousand Picat programs, and contributed countless
    suggestions and bug reports. He also co-authored
    several publications on Picat, including the book
    "Constraint Solving and Planning with Picat". In
    addition, he generously provided timely and thoughtful
    responses to questions on the newsgroup. His passing
    is a tremendous loss to the Picat community, and he
    will be remembered for his contributions,
    generosity, and passion.

    Quite a loss, probably the only non-posh person in
    the Prolog community and elsewhere, that one could
    easily interact with and an amazing puzzler.

    Bye
