      It’s pretty common for people to think that, since the GNOME Foundation adopted it. It was originally created for GIMP though - the developer didn’t like Motif so they built their own replacement for it.

    Wait why didn’t they keep unpacking the recursive acronym further? GNU’s Not Unix’s Not Unix’s Not Unix’s Not Unix I’d say that’s a pretty good amount although if there’s a mathematical way of formulating the unpacking of acronyms in a text I’d like to see the that repeated until infinity.

      Just put it in a formal grammar:

      GNU -> GNU's Not Unix's
      GNU -> gnu
      GIMP -> GNU image manipulation program

        Yes, but I’m not sure if we want to open the “programming language can of worms”.

        There’s B, C, C++, C#, Objective-C, D, E, F, F#, F* and so many more. Also, they may or may not have anything to do with each other

            Hahaha I’ve never heard that before. Seems legit.

            C# was originally “Java: The Good Parts” but but these days it’s a much more advanced language and runtime compared to Java.

              As a dev who works on both Java and C# code, modern Java (17+) and C# feel almost exactly the same (not sure if Java has extension methods though).

              Bonus points for using Kotlin instead tho. I dislike both Java and C# just because they both allow any object to be null and that’s usually a headache whenever a null exception shows up.

              The only thing I like better about C# is the Fixture library for testing. I haven’t found any mature libraries like it for Java yet.

                they both allow any object to be null and that’s usually a headache whenever a null exception shows up.

                C# has nullable reference types now: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/nullable-references. If you enable it, you have to explicitly make reference types nullable (like ?string) and you’ll get build warnings if you try to use a variable that’s potentially null.

    “GNU is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program Tool Kit” is still a better name for GTK than “GIMP ToolKit”.

    It’s a name that will definitely raise some eyebrows in the less technically inclined circles. (and maybe a few “Pulp Fiction” references about “bring out the gimp”)

        It’s even neater. The name of towns/cites cannot be trademarked. The safest thing you can do when naming a project is naming it after a town so you don’t run into legal troubles in the future.

            You can eventually trademark once you get big enough. As with all things law it’s a bit tricky. However, the default is that geographic locations aren’t trademarkable.
