Jules Haime

Jules Haime (28 March 1824, Tours – 28 September 1856, Paris) was a French geologist, paleontologist and zoologist known for his research of coral.

After studying medicine in Tours, he focused his energies towards natural history. Subsequently, he relocated to Paris, where he came under the influence of zoologist Henri Milne-Edwards. In 1855 he became a professor of natural history at the Lycée Napoléon in Paris. In January 1856 (several months prior to his death at age 32) he was named vice-president of the Société géologique de France.[1]

gollark: For a slightly more thingy JS example, if you see that someone does `x == 7` a lot instead of `===`, that implies that either they have gone mad from the weak typing or don't use JS a lot.
gollark: Yes it does. It can help distinguish people by showing you who uses the language frequently and who doesn't.
gollark: Anyway, more generally, you need to know the idioms of a language to know if someone *else* does.
gollark: Since basically all the JS I've seen uses the second one.
gollark: If I saw the top one (and it wasn't in an event like this where everyone will second-guess everything) I would assume that it was written by someone who used C(++) a lot.
