John Backus, † 2007-03-17.

John Backus revolutionized programming twice (and that's a lower bound), first by initiating, staffing and spearheading the FORTRAN project and later by igniting research into functional programming languages through his (APL-inspired) work on FP.

"The delight of that place was all the rules you could break."
