I hereby decree that nobody is ever allowed to name anything with a single letter ever again. All names must be at least four letters long.

Especially programming languages.

Trying to search for useful information about something named "C" or "R" is just too damn annoying.

And symbols aren't any better! I'm looking at you, C++ and C#.

Try working in the computer language Small and searching for help with it on Google.

In all fairness, those, excluding C#, were named pre-www, or at least pre-www becoming commonplace. Things that are post-www, i'm with you entirely.
