No. I also can't name six philosophers who write about atheism. In fact, I know only one: Keith Augustine. Michael Huemer is an atheist, but, as far as I know, he mainly writes about anarcho-capitalism and sometimes about veganism, rarely does he write about atheism. Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris are not philosophers.
Then how can you say this is a ‘major topic’ in philosophy? The Wikipedia article on ‘Philosophy of Language’ lists nine major topics in the field and the relationship between programming and natural language isn’t among them.

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

I suspect it's an unhealthy, abusive relationship.
