The 5 Most Influential Programmers
They are pioneer programmers who put a strong foundation for software development.
Starting from ones and zeros, programming came a long way to reach the current state of abstraction. Past programmers put a stable foundation with great inventions for modern programmers to do their work easily. If we check a particular software, perhaps, it was written with the help of several libraries that have another set of dependencies that were created some years ago. When we go back further, eventually we will find out a massive invention done by an exceptional programmer in the history of computer software evolution.
For example, the Anaconda data science environment is written in Python. Thereafter, Python is written in C programming language which is a huge project that powered millions of projects. Similarly, Android uses the Linux kernel that is a large project by an exceptional programmer. The following programmers are pioneer computer scientists who put a strong foundation for software development by doing several memorable projects.
Linus Torvalds
Linux kernel empowers a lot of operating systems: mainly Linux distributions and other Linux kernel-based operating systems such as Android. Also, the majority of web servers on the internet run Linux…
