Well, he did say "module names", not "language names". Few language names are descriptive, and those that are tend to be acronyms: BASIC, LISP, COBOL, PHP, APL. Note that while that last one is descriptive, it does very little to distinguish itself from any other programming language. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
