Just be thankful that we don't share the penchant for giving credit to discoverers. Imagine calling a cache a "Murphy/Steinman/Sokolov structure" (made-up names). I mean, we do for some things, especially algorithms (Boyer-Moore). Probably for the same reason the mathematicians do -- there aren't readily available real-world analogies. And I won't even mention the branded future, with its "Google HyperZipper String Search" and "OpenAI/Red Bull speedmaxx distributed consensus algorithm"... | ||

Huffman Coding, Turing Machines, Knuth Devices, Bayesian networks, B-tree (named after Bayer), AVL Trees, so many data structures and algorithms, even relatively new ones like Timsort, Jaccard similarity, MapReduce (thankfully but I have seen people call it Dean-Ghemawatt MapReduce in literature). Well people even name stuff after themselves as well, Fil-C, raylib, etc (I like both Filip and Ray just pointing it out). Aside: If I butchered some spellings I am sorry. :3 | ||
