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 don't know which it was named after (could also be a road, eg
turnpike), but the language's logo is the fish.
Our logo is a snake, so that's obviously not a good guide. :-)
