bellard

Originally, Fabrice Bellard did a standalone libqemu but it was removed.

Fabrice Bellard also did some research on pi digits calculations.

Fabrice Bellard [1,2] should be on this list.

I believe Fabrice Bellard deserves to be added.

The greatest French hackers like Jean-loup Gailly (zlib) and Fabrice Bellard (ffmpeg, QEmu and much more) actually went to Polytechnique (X), where they actually got something 42 students are very unlikely to get, an extremely strong math background readily applicable to multiple fields.

But for practical reasons - are you familiar with Bellard's tcc?

> very few people are programmers at the level of a Linus Torvalds, Peter Norvig or Fabrice Bellard.

Bellard's TCC had a similar feature - it could be used to JIT scripts written in C, and libtcc was its library for dynamic code generation.

I'd also like to image if Torvalds or Bellard or whoever your house god is would be thrown in a front end web project, would they still be a "10x"?

Sure, some people in isolation can make amazing things with a few thousand lines of code - I think most people would be happy employing Fabrice Bellard.

For those who do not believe in the "10x programmer", how do you feel about programmers such as John Carmack (Doom, Oculus)[1], Fabrice Bellard (ffmpeg, pi algorithm)[2], Linus Torvalds (Linux, Git), TJ Holowaychuk (node.js projects)?
