Not "Edsge" but "Edsger".

Edsger Wybe Dijkstra 
[Rotterdam, 11 May 1930 – Nuenen, 6 August 2002]

He was primarily concerned, as I understand it,
that by programming with the "GoTo" command,
as was the norm in BASIC at that time, 
like the only available conditional:

If condition GoTo linenumber

making a complete mess of any complex code, and he visualized the necessity 
of **recursive** and later compact modular coding as we think is common use 
nowadays.

BASIC and other languages evolved due to his harsh comments and ideas,
[and he was the voice of others too, ofcourse].
