It's funny how Denmark could produce two computer scientists with very distinct opinions on what makes a computer language good (I'm happy ate least one of them knows the right answer)

Either Rasmus Ledorf or Bjarne Stroustrup. Arguably, another Danish programmer contributed to the history of Pascal: Peter Naur (and also Jørn Jensen, but he was more into implementing ALGOL 60 compilers).

Honorable mention to DHH, although he didn't create a programming language. And also to Lars Bak for being the lead developer on V8.

Would be only fair to mention Paul Henning Kamp here as well. FreeBsd, md5, varnish.

Lars Bak was also the lead designer of Dart
