Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It's named after the comedy group Monty Python's Flying Circus.
145Replyoh, well then that explains why Python is a joke.
79ReplyWhile I disagree with you, this made me chuckle. A great joke. Wish you all the best.
33ReplyMore of a tragicomedy, really

If I'm not wrong python is named after Monty python TV show and not after a animal
143ReplyMonty Python, being a comedy troupe, consists of humans, which are a type of animal ;)
65Reply...Similar to pythons, which happen to be animals as well.

I'm not sure, but I think that might have been part of the joke, seeing all the comments here.

Ocaml stands for "Objective Categorical Abstract Machine Language", so it's pronounced like "Camel" but not named after it, unfortunately

...fish ???
41ReplyFish 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.

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
34ReplyIs 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?
18ReplyI'm surprised there aren't more languages labelled after highly addictive stimulants
11Reply
Java was named after the Javanese, and not the other way around?

32ReplyDeep 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.
25ReplyAm I being dense? I don't get it.
23ReplyJavaScript is not named after an animal
12ReplyIt's complicated. It's sort of colony animal, like a slime mold or a portuguese man-o-war. Either way, you shouldn't touch it.

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.

Yes, indeed, I see javascripts in the wild every day.

It's a tool for degenerates (said the kid who grew up rotting his brain with vbscript)
