Ask HN: Who will be computing legends in 30 years?

2 points by cfj ↗ HN
By legends I mean people like Dennis Ritchie or Ken Thompson or Vint Cerf.

In 2045, will we regard for instance John Carmack with the same reverence? Or maybe someone like Palmer Luckey, or Zuckerberg?

Interested to hear what names you can come up with.

I think Michael Stonebraker has made just about as big as impact as anyone.
