에츠허르 비버 데이크스트라(네덜란드어: Edsger Wybe Dijkstra, 1930년 5월 11일 ~ 2002년 8월 6일)는 네덜란드의 컴퓨터 과학자이다. 1972년에 프로그래밍 언어 분야에 대한 지대한 공헌을 인정받아 튜링상을 수상했다.

생애

데이크스트라는 레이던 대학교에서 이론물리학을 전공했다.

데이크스트라는 컴퓨터과학이 아직 학문으로 완전하게 정립되지 않았던 시절에 컴퓨터과학의 여러 분야에 걸쳐 많은 공헌을 했다. 그의 다방면에 걸친 업적은 다음과 같다.

오랜 암 투병 끝에 2002년 8월 6일에 세상을 떠났다.

일화

  • Go To Statement Considered Harmful이라는 논문의 제목은 데이크스트라가 직접 지은 것이 아니라, 당시 편집장이었던 니클라우스 비르트가 지었다.

This method of proceeding in a design would obliviously be greatly encouraged by the use of a structured programming language, a language with a set of constructs that could freely be combined and nested. The textual structure of a program should directly reflect its flow of control."

"In 1965 Dijkstra wrote his famous Notes on Structured Programming and declared programming as a discipline in contrast to a craft. Also in 1965 Hoare published an important paper about data structuring. These ideas had a profound influence on new programming language, in particular Pascal. Languages are the vehicles in which these ideas were to be expressed. Structured Programming became supported by a Structured programming languages]]."

That paper is probably why Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing exists; it certainly inspired most of my work."

Knuth taught me the answers. Dijkstra taught me the questions. Time and time again I come back to their works for new insights."
