Edsgar Dijkstra
He’s been super important in contributing to many modern computing paradigms.
I saw something about one-way control transfer vs. 2-way transfer in the Clean Architecture book, but don’t have the note.
- Was reintroduced in the Behavior Tree
The paper: “Edsger W. Dijkstra. Letters to the editor: go to statement considered harmful. Commun. ACM, 11:147–148, March 1968.”
- Ah yes, it’s Structured Programming
Was super controversial at the time.
