FWIW, I am VERY MUCH AGAINST the idea of naming a language after its implementation. I've seen the confusion it causes in other environments and we ought not repeat that mistake here, especially since we don't have to. Whatever things end up being called, don't confuse the implementation(s) with the language definition. Pm
