    Grace Hopper, to hear how the process of developing COBOL came to be, Bryan Kernighan and Dennis Richie for their development of C and involvement with Unix, Ada Lovelace, and Charles Babbage, and I'd add a 6th party, Alan Turing. The last three being the earliest pioneers of programmable machines and computer mathematics.

     

    I can't stop at just 5. Sorry.
