If the popularity of React persists so that it eventually drives a Turing award, I think the award would more likely go to Evan Czaplicki for his thesis on functional reactive programming.
- tracyhenry 6y agoThanks for the reference. I didn't know that there is a paper behind it. However, I'd say it's quite unlikely. First, he had a supervisor Stephen Chong back in Harvard who co-authored the paper. It's unclear who should get the credit on that particular thesis. Second, the paper has unexciting citation count (200+). Lastly, he stopped publishing and is not in academia any more.
