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

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

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.
