Turing Award goes to Jeffrey Ullman and Alfred Aho for their work on compilers, which underpin computer programming languages
all without making a big fuss. https://news.stanford.edu/... Guido van Rossum / @gvanrossum : This year's Turing Award goes to Aho and Ullman, the authors of the very fine Dragon Book. I have a first edition proudly on my bookshelf. https://www.nytimes.com/... Steven Sinofsky / @stevesi : Turing Award Goes to Creators of Computer Programming Building Blocks https://www.nytimes.com/... // my computer science textbook list/library shelf just got the Turing Award! Jon Stewart / @codeslack : Congrats to Aho and Ullman! Reading the Dragon book is one of the best decisions I've made. https://www.nytimes.com/... @columbia : BIG NEWS! Congrats to @ColumbiaCompSci Prof Al Aho, winner of the 2020 @TheOfficialACM Turing Award! The award honors his research on theory & algorithms underlying programming language & work educating generations of computer scientists. https://www.nytimes.com/... @nytimes : Jeffrey Ullman and Alfred Aho have won this year's Turing Award for their work on the fundamental concepts that underpin computer programming languages. It comes with a $1 million prize, which the longtime friends will split. https://www.nytimes.com/...
The NYT story on the Turing award winners was so vague about what they had accomplished to win the award, I had to read the *Stanford U. press release* to find out the real basis of the selection. https://news.stanford.edu/...
Congrats to my colleague Jeff Ullman for winning the Turing Award! It is about time compilers got their due. In 2013 I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to co-teach the Stanford compilers class with Jeff. What a legend! https://news.stanford.edu/...
Always good to see when nice people win the big awards! Sure, they are brilliant too but niceness is not a quality that's often highlighted and it should be. https://twitter.com/...
Delighted that Jeff Ullman won the Turing Award! While the award rightly credits his contributions to compilers/algorithms, Jeff made an indelible mark on both databases and data mining, based on his textbooks and research—all without making a big fuss. https://news.stanford.edu/…
