Well, the language was going to be called "One of the cross beams has gone out askew on the treadle" but that was a little unwieldy and hard to understand when mumbled in a hury. Searching for the runtime "ootcbhgoaott" returns zero hits on Google. That would have guaranteed that the only hits that came back related to the language. However typing things like sh$ ootcbhgoaott myprog.ootcbhgoaott became too cumbersome. So they decided on Python instead. Besides...nobody expected a kind of Spanish Inquisition...
