Grace "Brewster" Murry Hopper, the Leah Cul[o]ver[o] of the 1950's? If she's so great, then why is she dead? She didn't even have a programming language named after her like Ada Lovelace. Rear Admiral? More like Ass Urinal. Fuck off.

I bet she would have remembered to close her BBCODE tags properly.

I bet she would have implemented Sexpcode in her Lisp made Telnet BBS.

Halakha dictates that if her mother was Jewish, then she is 100% Jewish.

Why does it seem like all the positive advances in computer science and programming come from the countries that were aligned with the US during the cold war? Why have I never heard of anything except spam email, botnets, and shitty esoteric programming languages come out of places like Russia?

Russia is full of smart people. They also have higher levels of corruption than the other wealthy nations. This makes it more difficult to conduct a legitimate business, you need to take the time to bribe the important people to get things done to the detriment of legitimate operators and potential operators. In countries that are vigilant against internal corruption, you'll find a lot more activity in productive services.
FLOW-MATIC served as a model on which to build with input from other sources and was the main inspiration for COBOL.

Most "smart people" in Russia are Jews, like Perelman.

You troll, but to be quite honest Russia made a ton of very important contributions to science and mathematics throughout the twentieth century. Like >>10 said, the Soviet sciences programmes were riddled with favouritism and political gaming, but they still got a lot of stuff done despite this.

all non -ev/-av/-ov surnames there are Jewish. I.e. -in, -ch, -sky, -berg, -man, -er are Jews. Many -ov/-av/-ev surnames there are likely Jewish too (i.e. they Jewish mother).

Oh, sorry then, I retract my statement. Russians are a barbaric and retarded people, and without jews, we would be even more behind every other country on the globe.

US stole all nazi computer scientists after the war, and Russians got none, so they had to invent everything from scratch while the US was using secret nazi computer technology to bootstrap their own computer programme. Same with nuclear: US stole all nazi nuclear technology, and Russians had to double-steal the stolen technology for themselves a few years later.
