hi. indeed it is just a list of persons in no particular ordering.

The persons you name are of course on the list. Lovelace already visible the others will appear in the future. So every day one person is added.

If you have other persons you want to see on the list you can submit person with a link in the footer of the page.

A small correction on Gates: he did not create BASIC. β€œThe language BASIC was an acronym for Beginner's All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. It was developed by Dartmouth mathematicians John George Kemeny and Tom Kurtzas as a teaching tool for undergraduates.”[1]

The rest generally applies.
