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.
OCaml ??
Python isn’t named after an animal it’s named after a comedy troupe, which is a group of animals
There's also OCamel and Julia.
What about
D
...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.
(/joke)
Don't forget about .bat
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
What about Lolcat?
kthxbye
What about a GOpher?
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.
PHP is also named after an animal.
