Can you name some that invite comparison with FB?

  I'd do less comparison and more recognition. Some of these are kind of old or from the past and I'm no expert and the list is very incomplete but: Jean Ichbiah - big contributor to Ada Alain Colmerauer - creator of Prolog Jean-Marie Hullot - iCal, iSync, NeXTSTEP GUI builder, CTO of Applications at Apple in early 2000s Philippe Kahn - founder of Borland, inventor of first camera-phone Olivier Fourdan - creator of Xfce, big contributor to Wayland

    > I'd do less comparison and more recognition. Not to be overly snarky, but it's a good thing, since none of those people's output is comparable to FB's. The thought there might be another programmer like him was an interesting one to entertain...

      For sure! But then the output set might be smaller and we need to recognize the good. Statically there’s probably others working in private, not publishing in open.
