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

… javascript ???

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 ???

They tried making SpeedScript but big programming decided it was too fast for its time and shut it down

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

Java was named after the Javanese, and not the other way around?
