The recent 2 part Nurse Who had Ada as a supporting character.

From the “chicks can do stuff too” timed-release media dump department.

Ada Lovelace and her contributions to computational science is old news.

So, she wrote algorithms “intended to run” on the Babbage engine that was never finished, and still is proclaimed to be the first programmer. How PC.

I wonder what Ada would have thought of the authors efforts to bring out the story of Ada? Man, what a tediously repetitious botch this,article is!

I wonder if he hurt himself straining so hard to make something out of very nearly nothing.

The military had the Ada programming language developed in her honor and the Military Standard is based on her birthday

MIL-STD-1815A, MILITARY STANDARD: ADA PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE (ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A-1983) (22 JAN 1983) [NO S/S DOCUMENT]., This standard specifies the form and meaning of program units written in Ada. Its purpose is to promote the portability of Ada programs to a variety of data processing systems. MIL-STD-1815 Rev.

I have two Math degrees. All sorts of theorems are named after people who, I assume, first demonstrated them. (I even remember one of my professors half joking that he wanted something or other named after him.)

I never heard of this "Ada" until they decided to name some computer language after her.
