Denmark is doing pretty well if you look at the history and people of PLT. Probably #1 country in per capita terms. Hejlsberg, Bak, Lerdorf, Naur, Stroustrup, Troels Henriksen etc. (Denmark has less than 2% of the population of USA)

Sure, I am not discounting Denmark has smart computer scientists, nor that the U.S. has better ones, (I'm European myself), just that from my experience the European tech scene is slower on picking up the latest tech, (which is different from educational institutions).
