Fun fact: Python is the only programming language named after an animal!
… javascript ???
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.
Bro woke up and chose violence
Python isn’t named after an animal it’s named after a comedy troupe, which is a group of animals
Python, Spam, IDLE.
Monte Python have a lot to answer for.
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)
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 ;)
I’m not sure, but I think that might have been part of the joke, seeing all the comments here.
Don’t forget about
.batC 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
There actually is a fish Shell
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.
…fish ???

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
Java was named after the Javanese, and not the other way around?
Ada is named after a human and humans are animals.
Pascal, too.
Haskell
Fucking Caml, hate this language 👺
That reminds me… Oh, Caml.
There’s also OCamel and Julia.
And Ada
Julia is an animal?
Yeah, there’s a bunch of humans called Julia.
Ocaml stands for “Objective Categorical Abstract Machine Language”, so it’s pronounced like “Camel” but not named after it, unfortunately
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)
Am professional js dev, can confirm. Have maximum brain rot.

Am I being dense? I don’t get 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.
JavaScript is not named after an animal
It’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.
Chicken?
