Deep in the Serengeti, we find the lonesome JavaScript. With its tendrils deep in the ground, it begins consuming thousands of tiny life forms known as “node modules” to fuel its desires.

.batI 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
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.
/s
and Julia? Well we all know what Julia is slang for
…C ???
Java was named after the Javanese, and not the other way around?

There’s also OCamel.
Ocaml stands for “Objective Categorical Abstract Machine Language”, so it’s provided like “Camel” but not named after it, unfortunately
Julia is an animal?
Yea, Julia is the name of the squirrel that routinely exploits my bird feeder.
Yeah, there’s a bunch of humans called Julia.
Yes, under the right circumstances she can be.
And Ada
PHP is also named after an animal.

Python isn’t named after an animal it’s named after a comedy troupe, which is a group of animals
Until recently, thought it was also named after Pythagoras, with the snake being a double meaning.
fun fact: Pythagoras was named after the snake god Glycon.
(this is not true)
Python, Spam, IDLE.
Monte Python have a lot to answer for.
Yes, indeed, I see javascripts in the wild every day.
Nah, it’s not a programming language.
It’s a tool for degenerates (said the kid who grew up rotting his brain with vbscript)
Eh, whatever. It puts food on the table…
I’m not judging, I know the pain
It’s not even that much of a pain. I’m mostly dealing with TypeScript, very rarely vanilla JavaScript, and it’s even enjoyable most of the time.
Sorry, I was must continuing the joke.
Am professional js dev, can confirm. Have maximum brain rot.

What about

If I’m not wrong python is named after Monty python TV show and not after a animal
I’m not sure, but I think that might have been part of the joke, seeing all the comments here.
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.
i think there’s something called aspnet, dolphin and badger.
also cowball for the artistic license.
C shell
There actually is a fish 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
Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
*indirectly named after an animal…
oh, well then that explains why Python is a joke.
More of a tragicomedy, really
While I disagree with you, this made me chuckle. A great joke. Wish you all the best.
