Fun fact: Python is the only programming language named after an animal!
.. javascript ???
If I'm not wrong python is named after Monty python TV show and not after a animal
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

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?
i think there's something called aspnet, dolphin and badger.
also cowball for the artistic license.
