People with programming languages named after them (person)

These people have programming languages named after them:

• Haskell B. Curry (Haskell) (who also got currying, not of favour)
• Blaise Pascal (Pascal)
• Ada Lovelace (Ada)
• Alfred Aho, Peter Weinberger, and Brian Kernighan (awk)
• Alan Turing. Besides the machine, WaldemarExkul informs me that University of Toronto had a language by this name -- "essentially Pascal without the semicolons" required, it has a grab-bag of add-ons.
• Erlang, after the mathematician Agner Erlang -- inventor of the Erlang numbers, aka "why can't I get a cellphone line when I'm at a 250,000 person demonstration?!"
• Gödel: origin is obvious (http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/~bowers/goedel.html) (but the language apparently somewhat less so...)
• Pike, after the fish (fish are people too).
• Occam, the language of the ill-fated Transputer chip, used mainly by parallelized weirdos -- William of Ockham

On the other hand, none of these associations has any basis in fact:

• Gamal Abdul Nasser (Perl)
• W. C. Fields (C)
• Haskell B. Curry (B)
• Suzie Cobol (Cobol)
• Moses (Lisp)
• Major Major Major Major (M4)
• Larry Wall (of Perl fame, unrelated to wall, which is not even a language)

This lot really do have programming languages named after them, but they're not really people:

• Oberon (character in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream).
• Mercury (b. Hermes in Ancient Greece).
• The famous comedian Monty Python, for whom Python is named. As you'd expect, this language has a beautiful internal architecture, which is used to implement a bizarre trainwreck of the layout of Haskell (see languages in which whitespace is significant), the verbosity of BASIC/COBOL which forces you to use your colon more than your brain.
• Delphi, after the Oracle. Apparently not, however, an example of computation with an Oracle.
• There's also a Yorrick running around (skull and all), apparently: ftp://ftp-icf.llnl.gov/pub/Yorick/doc/index.html

randombit added around 56 languages to the above list.
