Not for a language, but there is a physics simulation library called Newton -- which is a more appropriate use of the name, I think. To me, he's more associated with physics than mathematics. If you want a really appropriate name for a programming language, I'd suggest Babbage. (not for Python, though!) -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
