Happy Birthday to Henri Bal!

67 years old (Born on April 16, 1958)

Happy Birthday, Henri! Another year older and wiser—though rumor has it you're still debugging Orca code in your sleep. Your groundbreaking contributions to computer science have inspired countless students (and perhaps confused a few dolphins who stumbled upon "Orca programming" online).

From pioneering parallel computing concepts to mentoring generations of programmers, you've truly made waves bigger than any whale could manage. May this birthday bring you fewer bugs, faster compiles—and plenty of cake slices running concurrently.

Here's wishing the professor whose brilliance never goes out-of-date another fantastic orbit around the sun filled with laughter and success!
