Fun fact: Python is the only programming language named after an animal!
… javascript ???
Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
C shell
There actually is a fish Shell
If I’m not wrong python is named after Monty python TV show and not after a animal
There’s also OCamel and Julia.
And Ada
Julia is an animal?
Yeah, there’s a bunch of humans called Julia.
Ocaml stands for “Objective Categorical Abstract Machine Language”, so it’s pronounced like “Camel” but not named after it, unfortunately
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
…C ???
Ada is named after a human and humans are animals.
…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.

Am I being dense? I don’t get it.
JavaScript is not named after an animal
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.
OCaml ??
What about
D
Chicken?
What about a GOpher?
What about Lolcat?
