@Quincunx Your ḥ is not an h (it has a little dot underneath).

| Nov 21, 2014 at 20:12 | comment | added | Bill Woodger | @Calvin'sHobbies Thanks, I was looking for something long to see if Grace Hopper would actually work with COBOL :-) it doesn't :-( With COBOL in golfing, it doesn't really matter what you multiply it by, it's long (in golf terms) anyway. | |

Change year from 1935 to 1942 to coincide with ENIAC, made title more specific

@BillWoodger I think that's a bit of a stretch. I'd be OK with Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper though. Remember that your code size is multiplied by the number of unique characters in the name so a longer name is not necessarily better.

Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, United States Navy, (Retired), Doctor of Philosophy. Born 1906. Would that be OK?

| Nov 21, 2014 at 14:11 | comment | added | ymbirtt | Were I to pick, for example, Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī, and use a reasonable ASCII-fication of their name, for instance Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi, would that be acceptable? | |
