It's an awk interview. "Awk creator" is relevant.

Right, the headline gave the appropriate context for the interview in a short sentence. Not everyone knows Kernighan created awk, as opposed to a respected person that happens to have opinions on awk.

AWK's name is actually an initialism of the last names of its three creators: Aho, Weinberger, and Kernighan.
