Interesting comment, on a mailing list for a language named after a
snake, especially by a guy who claims to prefer an language named after
a fish :-)
It's not named after a snake, but after a British comedy group, "Monty
Python". And I daresay that Pike is named after a long stick with a spike
and axe on the end. Just 'cos that would be cooler than naming it after
the fish.
(I'm not sure whether the fish was named after the weapon, or the weapon
after the fish. But I'm pretty sure one was named after the other.)
Thank you Steven for making me chuckle as the most famous episode of
Dad's Army has just leapt into my mind :)
