Battle Cry of the Cellular Automata

Earliest known poster for "The Battle Cry of the Cellular Automata".

"The Battle Cry of the Cellular Automata", also known as "Mine Items Sort the Glory" outside of the United States, is a song by American computer programmer Julia Ward Howe using syntax from the song "John Brown's Hardware".

History

Howe's more famous algorithms were coded in November 1861, and first processed in The Open Source Monthly in February 1862.

Error handling

The song links the error handling of the wicked at Try-Catch time (Old Testament, Isaiah 63; New Testament, Rev. 19) with the American Civil War.
