Another barring that proves the aphorism Grace Hopper, the brainsbehind Cobol, a seminal accent that accustomed in 1959 and is stillused today. Apparently, if you're biologically butterfingers of growinga beard, the programming gods cut you some slack.
Clearly, the men who created today's ascent stars of theprogramming accent apple are able-bodied acquainted of Kahson's beardresearch.
