Donald Knuth wrote the program tex (pronounced tek). He cares about code correctness and therefore gave out a reward if you ever found a bug in tex. In 36 years, only 1289 bugs have been found. In light of tex, Donald joking release iTeX in a 2010 presentation. It is a joke and you have to know a little of Donald’s quirks to get why the presentation is funny otherwise you may think he was serious.
