P: A programming language for asynchrony, fault-tolerance and uncertainty

Can we stop naming programming languages with letters and symbols and give it proper names that, when googled (or binged), makes the programming language appear on top?

Searching for "<Letter> Programming Language" works wonders. Give it a try sometime.

Second this. It might seem irrelevant for us folks, we aware of different places to seek help e.g. Stackoverflow but when introducing someone new and they encounter a million questions about programming in a language, searching just becomes a nightmare with these single letter naming.

So no B, C, or D?

What about common words like Java, Ruby, Python, Go?

I suppose this makes Scala and Perl the easiest languages to find documentation for.

Someone uses Bing?

And enough people to justify a new verb? binged is already taken and I don't think Microsoft wants to associate itself with such indulgence.
