"Tech people" aren't one single homogeneous mass. His name is unlikely to show up in the same conversation as, say, DHH.

That's understood in the comment which explicitly indicates that there are many programming circles and that Bellard is known in a number of them (but not all).

eg: I grew up in the Australian Kimberley region (kind of remote), spent decades in geophysical mapping, multi channel data processing, computational algebra, and other odd niches, have no real interest in SV, and am quite familiar with Bellard's work.

No idea who DHH is though.

I knew of Fabrice, and have admired him for many years…but who is DHH?

DHH is even less known, don't kid yourself.
