Python is a good programming language, but "Python" is not a good
name.
First, python also means snake, Monty Python. If we search "python" in
google, emule, many results are not programming resource. If we search
PHP, all results are programming resource.
Second, python also means snake, snake is not a good thing in western
culture. Many people dislike any things relevant to snake. We must
have high regard for the custom.
Now, python3000 is coming. It's the best time to rename!
Athon is a good candidate, you could provide better names.
In Athon, the first letter "A" could pronounce as [ e ] .

Have you actually tried this? When I do a google search
for "python", the very *first* result I get is "Python
Programming Language - Official Website".
Also, out of the first 10 results, 7 are about the
Python language, and only 3 are about snakes.
Results are likely to be even better if you include
something programming-related along with "python".

Not necessarily. A python is a sleek and powerful
creature, which are good associations for a programming
language. The word also hints at a bit of danger and
excitement. On the whole, I think it's a good name.

I agree that Python is not a good name for a programming language, but
I'm afraid we're stuck with it.
If I had invented Python, I would have called it Newton or Euler,
arguably the greatest scientist and mathematician ever, respectively.
Then again, if pigs could fly ...
Speaking of stupid names, what does "C++" mean? I think it's the grade
you get when you just barely missed a "B--". But I can't deny that it
*is* good for searching.
Pytn
New name "Pytn" may be better, do you think so ?

What is a bandarlog - I know the bandersnatch and the boojum, but
bandarlog?

If I get you the wool, will you make me one?

At one stage, "Monty Python's Flying Circus" was going to be called
"Owl Stretching Time".
If that had eventuated, then presumably we would all be disussing the Owl
programming language on comp.lang.owl

BTW, is "Windows" a great name for an operating system?

Really "unique" names; the OP wouldn't be happy about it when using
google ;)
Speaking of stupid names, what does "C++" mean?
It's "C incremented".
I think it's the grade you get when you just barely missed
a "B--".
So what dou you think about D language? :) Or F or F#?

No. How would you pronounce it? Pai-tn?

Do you have a good name for a class that is both routes and transforms
a message?
Somehow transouter or routformer doesnt jive, and a most things that
route,send, direct don't also transform, and things that convert or
change don't also route?
Any ideas? Trying to avoid two words as well. Should have taken more
English classes along with Comp Sci :-)

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
