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.
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.
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.

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.

There’s also OCamel and Julia.
Ocaml stands for “Objective Categorical Abstract Machine Language”, so it’s pronounced like “Camel” but not named after it, unfortunately
…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.

OCaml ??
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 ;)
…Similar to pythons, which happen to be animals as well.
C 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
Ada is named after a human and humans are animals.
Pascal, too.
Haskell
