Barbara Liskov wins Turing Award

  Cool stuff! But this sentence makes me cringe: "Liskov [...] was recognized for helping make software more reliable, consistent and resistant to errors and hacking." (emphasis mine) From MIT, of all places!

  In terms of the ever-present "Women in CS" question: who would HN suggest as the next female recipient of the Turing Award, after Liskov?

  I was amused how they described Alan Turing: "Alan M. Turing, who helped the Allies crack the Nazi Enigma cipher during World War Two." ... was all the other stuff he did too complicated to distill down into one line? Describing him as such is like saying Einstein is important to physics because he was a patent clerk.
