What would you name a new programming language?

6•TristanMB•5mo ago
No context. what are some great names for a new programming language?

Comments

OhMeadhbh•5mo ago
I can't say what I would name a language, but I always loved "WSFN" which stands for nothing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSFN_(programming_language) .
TristanMB•5mo ago
what about the following?: - B - Sage - manifest
andsoitis•5mo ago
Pro Lapse
VivaTechnics•5mo ago
Something short, simple, fundamental, low-level and deeply techie:

Xor, XORY

------

These are all excellent names: C, C++, Rust, Ada, Julia, Shell, Bash, etc.

TristanMB•5mo ago
>These are all excellent names

Wholeheartedly agree. what about something like Sage? B? You/U? Manifest?

VivaTechnics•5mo ago
- Maybe, design your language first, then name it.

- Single-letter names are mostly taken (e.g., B: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_(programming_language)

- Focus on one key feature your language does better than others. Low-level languages are trending; high-level application languages are crowded. For example, if you could make assembly-style code user-friendly, that could be a strong niche.

Tolstoy after my old dog. But also because I think a good language name should be able to be iterated on. E.g. C can become D or E or F. Java can be Mocha or Cappuccino. Etc.

With my new language Tolstoy you'd be able to have a little family of languages all named after classic authors. Tolstoy, Dickens, Melville etc. Plus my dog Tolstoy was the best dog ever so bonus for everyone as well.

codingclaws•5mo ago
Thinking of what to name an app or language is torturous.
ted_bunny•5mo ago
What is the language like? This seems an overbroad question to me.
ModernMech•5mo ago
"The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language." - Donald Knuth

imp. But only if it imperatively imports the implication operator.
recursivecaveat•5mo ago
Just remember the "rules of making things findable on the internet": no special characters (ascii letters only), and unique enough to be one of the top results when googled unqualified. Otherwise half of the people will start calling it "csharp" instead of C# or "golang" instead of go.

I'm partial to looking at non-english words because they frequently have these properties and there's basically an unlimited number to choose from.

Didn't chatGPT come out around the time Oumuamua made its appearance? All the rendered images of Oumuamua make the asteroid appear like a GiantPetrifiedTurd, no doubt expelled by a GIANT ancient alien. This makes the acronym portion of AI technology become Chat Giant Petrified Turd, a perfect analogy for the bad odor attached to human conversing mouths. So common sense dictates that a good programming language name could be Fee-C.
