There's one for his middle-name too [1]. [1] https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/b/brooks.htm https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/b/brooks.htm And while we're at it, another anecdote about naming the language [2]: > Hudak and Wise were asked to write to Curry’s widow, Virginia Curry, to ask if she would mind our naming the language after her husband. Hudak later visited Mrs. Curry at her home and listened to stories about people who had stayed there (such as Church and Kleene). Mrs. Curry came to his talk (which was about Haskell, of course) at Penn State, and although she didn’t understand a word of what he was saying, she was very gracious. Her parting remark was “You know, Haskell actually never liked the name Haskell.” [2] https://www.dotnetrocks.com/details/310 https://www.dotnetrocks.com/details/310
