.ie C++ is an inherently English programming language in my experience. And very few users of C++ know where the name semantically derived from anyhow.
If you really wanted a Lojbanic name, you could try to translate "C with classes", which was the C++'s first (working) name. But they you'd need a Lojban word for "class" as it's used in C++... .uonai
Any idea what other languages use to name C++? I'd bet just their name for "C", and their name for "plus plus", but I've never heard anyone talk about it not using English.
