Is it The Sussman, Abelson, Alonzo Church, Donald Knuth, Alan Turing, or John McCarthy? Place your votes.

It has to be Turing.

Epic fail.

- Absolutely everyone knows who Bjarne Stroustrup is
- No one will get trolled by a C++ fag

I like my heroes in this order:

The Abelson
The Sussman

Alonzo Church
Alan Turing
Donald Knuth
Richard Stallman
Noam Chomsky
John McCarthy
Edsger Dijkstra

Linus Torvalds
Guido van Rossum
John von Neumann
Dennis Ritchie
Ken Thompson
Brian Kernighan
John Backus

See, basically I divided it in three groups. The gods, the fathers, and the outstanding. Richard Stallman got his honourary position between the fathers because of his prophetic and evangelist work in open source, and his hatred for the mafiaa and similar.

Dijkstra got his position for his strong stance against the harmful/dangerous goto statement.

John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz FTW! they made programing easy for everyone and made it popular in the home computer era. Programing would be nothing as it is today of not for them!
