Perl 6
Audrey Tang: Revision 1
The primary force behind [Pugs], the original Perl 6 compiler implementation in Haskell that targets at least four different backends, including JavaScript. Ended the long "Dark Ages" of compiler-side Perl 6 development -- see Tang's Time-line in [When will Perl 6 be released?]. Spread "-Ofun" and commit bits to the masses. Also deserving of a MacArthur prize.
