Author makes a good point. Hard to dispute that they made a massive difference in organizing the worlds knowledge.

>artificial intelligence about five even before Hinton/Bengio/LeCun when it actually started working.

That’s hilarious

I couldn't resist the little jab about AI. :)

Saying this as a big fan of the old guard, McCarthy in particular.

Who else do you think should win?
As a distributed systems guy I'm partial to Nancy Lynch. But that's distributed systems, a field which has already had awards.

Search engines getting a couple of awards seemed like a no-brainer.

I think "The Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow v3.0 with Warehouse/Workshop Model" should win the "Turing Award".

1. Perfectly defeat other messy and complex software engineering methodologies in a simple and unified way.

2. Realize the unification of software and hardware on the logical model.

3. Achieve a leap in software production theory from the era of manual workshops to the era of standardized production in large industries.

4. The basics and the only way to `Software Design and Develop Automation (SDDA)`, SDDA is an innovative and revolutionary approach to develop large-scale software, just like `Electronic Design Automation (EDA)`.
