Well, we already have D flat. since c sharp and d flat are the same thing.

I thought of that, and there was indeed such a language, the predecessor of
C. I think it was used internally at AT&T or somewhere in the early 1970s.
I wonder what exactly they think they are selling?

Hi,
I read in a book that the idea behind the name (C#) was to stands for "See

C. I think it was used internally at AT&T or somewhere in the early 1970s.
Perhaps they should've carried on that convention and called C#, D
instead.
Then again, short names make it hard to search for info about the
language. Names with symbols make it a bigger problem.
A longer name without symbols would've been better.

Actually, there is already a language called D, its sort of between
unmanaged C++ and C#, as I recall. Its designed as an evolution of C++. Then again, short names make it hard to search for info about the
language. Names with symbols make it a bigger problem.

Yes, but people usually just make abrevations or acronyms for it, Visual
Basic becomes VB for example.

The D language - invented by Walter Bright, author of Datalight C, which
became Zortech C++ (the first C++ compiler that generated native code
directly instead of going through a pre-processor such as c-front),
which became Symantec C++, which was orphaned (I think). http://www.digitalmars.com/d/index.html
There's some interesting stuff there.
Walter also offers a free C++ compiler that I believe is the successor
to Symantec C++: http://www.digitalmars.com/

"Delphi" (as in the name of the language) is never shortened. A good
one-word name like this would be ideal.
D looks like a language done right.

Of course, the word delphi is horribly common itself, theres the oracle, the
programming language, the company, etc. Basically any term that makes any
sense(as opposed to Gradapolisilaka) is probably going to be tough on some
level to search for.

Likewise Java, Pascal, FORTRAN, Algol. Those are successful names.
PL/1 (alias PL/I) was the worst -- the whole world vacillated between two
ways of spelling it the whole time.
What is the current state of the art with PL/1? I presume it is still
widely used on IBM mainframes. There was a PL/1 compiler for PCs around
1984, but we never used it -- Turbo Pascal came along and won our loyalty.
I haven't heard of PL/1 since then, but I wonder about it.

Very good point. Programming languages should not be named after anything
else. But they should be simple.
FORTRAN, COBOL, ALGOL are original acronyms, but Algol was also the name of
a star (Beta Persei).
Java, Pascal, Delphi are words that were already in wide use for other
things.

Hmm? It's always D - D1, D2, ..., D8. DfN. DfL. &c.
Yeah -- it's shortened when referring to the name of the IDE, but I
can't recall ever seeing it shortened when referring to the name of the
_language_.
For clarity: Delphi is both the name of an IDE and a programming language.

Thats because Object Pascal is the language that the Delphi IDE compiles.

Not any more. The language is now officially called Delphi. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...and.com#link47

Check out John Kaster's reply to the above linked message. John Kaster
works for Borland.
This has been argued at length in the Borland newsgroups, with Borland
staff claiming that the language was _meant_ to be called "Delphi" all
along.
