The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- She was a pioneer of computer programming.
- Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages, and used this theory to develop the FLOW-MATIC programming language, which was a major influence on COBOL, an early high-level programming language still in use today.
- She was also one of the first programmers on the Harvard Mark I computer.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Grace Hopper article was read about 330,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
