With all the COBOL love flowing here, let’s take a second to remember that great comptuer pioneer, Admiral Grace Hopper, the mother of COBOL (and finder of the first literal computer bug and the one who first implemented language standards). It may look antiquated now, but it was revolutionary in the 60s.
Gracie Hopper! (Doffs hat, hand over heart). Ur-Geek before being a geek was cool and even before being a geek wasn’t cool.
