Important people in Computer Science

List the names of important people in Computer Science and their contributions to the field. I will start.

Grace Hopper - She built the first compiler named A-0. She is credited with popularizing the term debugging, because she found a real bug (a moth) stuck in a relay therefore impeding the system.

Corbató and the rest of the Project MAC people, for CTSS and Multics, the first timesharing systems worth remembering, and the inventors of most of systems research.

The Sussman, for soaking tens of thousands of CS students in parentheses for all eternity.

Tom Knight, because you are an inferior being to his surreal oneness with the lambda calculus.

The set of all significant Unix beards (Thompson, K&R, Knuth, etc.)

Stroustrup, for showing us that you really can ruin near-perfect minimalism.

James Gosling, for daring to give us an exhaustive proof of why OOP is unsalvageably brain-damaged, instead of relying on general and vague remarks like most programmers.

Alan Turing, for showing us that even if you invent an introductory language worse than Pascal, you can always commit suicide to get out of the bad press.

Charles Babbage, because who the fuck ever heard of J. H. Müller?

Von Neumann, for everything, but mostly the look on AI students' faces when they first learn about the Monte Carlo method.

Stephen Cook, the bastard who gave us NP-completeness, thereby ruining everyone's happy dreams forever, and thus a worthy successor to the guy (don't remember his name) who originally came to the revelation that most of coding is debugging.

Stallman, for the thirty years of moldy smegma that constitute Emacs's etc directory (seriously, have you looked in there? It is gross.)
