If anyone is due, it would be this person. Alan Kay to receive the ACM Turing Award for his innovation of Smalltalk.
The "Oy" comment in the article: Today, the language is credited as the model for C++ and Java.
Oy.
Nevertheless I cannot wait for his Turing Award lecture. This would be worth attending in person. He tends not to hold back.
Another good introduction to Alan Kay.
