I would love to see a running list of languages named like this. There are many, but I guess I can’t find or remember them since they’re all named so generically. Processing is the only other one I can think of at the moment.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoWell I mean... Go, D, Rust, Monkey, and so on. In the case of Rust I sometimes get more results about Rust the game than I do Rust the language.
- zamadatix 7y agoI think they mean languages named pretentiously not languages whose name is reused. Not many things (non-programming included) are named after putting letters into a blender and seeing what comes out.
- jobigoud 7y ago"Basic" might be another example. edit: from Wikipedia's list of languages I found the following: "Action!", "Basic", "BLISS", "Cool", "Hack", "Pure", "SMALL". Some of them are acronyms/retronyms. Special mentions: Smalltalk and High level shader language (HLSL).
