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

Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
*indirectly named after an animal…
oh, well then that explains why Python is a joke.
While I disagree with you, this made me chuckle. A great joke. Wish you all the best.
More of a tragicomedy, really
llama?
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
Java was named after the Javanese, and not the other way around?
Is based on the Java island coffee, the preferred variation of James Gosling. This is why the Java logo is a cup of coffee.
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.

and Julia? Well we all know what Julia is slang for
They tried making SpeedScript but big programming decided it was too fast for its time and shut it down
…C ???
Python isn’t named after an animal it’s named after a comedy troupe, which is a group of animals
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.

…fish ???

Fish are not real. Salmon is a kind of bird.
What people commonly refer to as “fish” are in fact government spy drones designed to detect and stop seaweed smuggling.

Ada is named after a human and humans are animals.
Pascal, too.
Haskell
Am I being dense? I don’t get it.
JavaScript is not named after an animal
It’s complicated. It’s sort of colony animal, like a slime mold or a portuguese man-o-war. Either way, you shouldn’t touch it.
I’m fairly certain this is a reference to a joke tweet interaction that went something like
- Fun fact: Oranges are the only fruit named after a color
- Star fruit?
- Close! That is a shape, not a color!
But nobody finished the end of the interaction or it wasn’t in the screenshot.
Fucking Caml, hate this language 👺
That reminds me… Oh, Caml.
Chicken?
Chicken.
Armed Bear in the same vein
Don’t forget about
