On the other hand, why would you give a language a name impossible to google?
This is why I think F* was a terrible name for a programming language.
F*
Thank you for that link! I had toyed with Q back in the mid 90s but had lost my copy of its source code. Some 20 years after I will have some afternoon fun with Pure.
M is the the ISO standard name for Mumps (they could not get permission to use MUMPS).
Programming language Advent calender
There is also D, the language of Codd and Date’s The Third Manifesto in addition to the D that is a better C++.
The M# listed in the article gives me bad enterprise smell on top of bad magic/ceremony smell. Code examples are buried deep.
