Fun fact: Python is the only programming language named after an animal!
… javascript ???

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.

Ada is named after a human and humans are animals.
Pascal, too.
Haskell
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)
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

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 ;)
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)
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.
Am professional js dev, can confirm. Have maximum brain rot.

Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
