A History of Programming Languages (sort of)

Hilarious, if not factual.

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."
