Greg Bryant is a computer scientist and community organizer,[1] best known as the founder of Workspot in downtown Palo Alto during the dotcom boom,[2][3][4][5] and editor of RAIN Magazine since 1989.[6] He also acted as a liaison between the computer industry and Christopher Alexander on many projects.[7][8]

In computing, he was an early producer of virtual machines,[9] which led to work promoting UNIX and software tools at Intel headquarters during the 386 project, and the creation of several production domain-specific languages.[10] He built languages and authoring tools for the first consumer in-car navigation systems, and the first mobile traffic app,[11] and built the first mobile apps for Google,[12] and for eBay .[13] He introduced the idea of 'unfolding programming sequences',[14] and the category of 'operational grammars' with the programming language 'grogix'.[15] He writes about foundation problems in computing philosophy,[16] and presents on the application of software to urban issues.[17]
