The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has named the Danish Computer Scientist Peter Naur, the winner of the 2005 A. M. Turing Award. The award is for Naur's pioneering work on defining the Algol 60 programming language paving way to many other modern programming languages. Incidentally, the Backus-Naur notation for defining syntax of a program is named after Professor Naur.
