Came across this in my twitter feed:
A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages
FTA:
"1959 - After losing a bet with L. Ron Hubbard, Grace Hopper and several other sadists invent the Capitalization Of Boilerplate Oriented Language (COBOL) . Years later, in a misguided and sexist retaliation against Adm. Hopper's COBOL work Ruby conferences frequently feature misogynistic material."
