Programming avant-garde
published on 2024/11/04
Programmers know the giants who laid our technological foundations, such as Donald Knuth, John McCarthy, Niklaus Wirth, Edsger Dijkstra, Ken Iverson, Leslie Lamport, Guido van Rossum, Fabrice Bellard, and Linus Torvalds. Their work stood the test of time and became mainstream. On the shoulders of these giants stands the next generation of explorers who are finding new ways of thinking about programming. This article mentions four less-known programmers and thinkers whose work interests me and who I consider programming avant-garde.
