Fun fact: Python is the only programming language named after an animal!
… javascript ???
Don’t forget about
.batC shell
By the C shore
If someone hasn’t made a garbage collector for C and called it C Shore, they need to get on it asap
Ada is named after a human and humans are animals.
Pascal, too.
Haskell
What about
D
llama?
Fucking Caml, hate this language 👺
That reminds me… Oh, Caml.
What about Lolcat?
kthxbye
I wonder if people that JavaScript is indirectly named from an ethnic group in Indonesia.
Javanese ethnic -> Java Island -> Javanese coffee -> Java programming language -> JavaScript
Is based on the Java island coffee, the preferred variation of James Gosling. This is why the Java logo is a cup of coffee.
Edit: I made that up, but looks like it’s true?
I’m surprised there aren’t more languages labelled after highly addictive stimulants
I heard Ritchie called it C after creating it during one of Bell Labs’ famous coke parties.

What about a GOpher?
Python isn’t named after an animal it’s named after a comedy troupe, which is a group of animals
Python, Spam, IDLE.
Monte Python have a lot to answer for.
Until recently, thought it was also named after Pythagoras, with the snake being a double meaning.
fun fact: Pythagoras was named after the snake god Glycon.
(this is not true)
Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
oh, well then that explains why Python is a joke.
If I’m not wrong python is named after Monty python TV show and not after a animal
Monty Python, being a comedy troupe, consists of humans, which are a type of animal ;)
There’s also OCamel and Julia.
Ocaml stands for “Objective Categorical Abstract Machine Language”, so it’s pronounced like “Camel” but not named after it, unfortunately
Yes, indeed, I see javascripts in the wild every day.
Nah, it’s not a programming language.
It’s a tool for degenerates (said the kid who grew up rotting his brain with vbscript)
Am professional js dev, can confirm. Have maximum brain rot.

Eh, whatever. It puts food on the table…
I’m not judging, I know the pain
It’s not even that much of a pain. I’m mostly dealing with TypeScript, very rarely vanilla JavaScript, and it’s even enjoyable most of the time.
PHP is also named after an animal.
Pretty huge penguin

Penis Huge Penguin?
That’s the one. Tux fux
