As a snake keeper, I'm always interested in articles concerning pythons, the reptiles, but as I scan through the titles I see so many posts concerning python the language that it's becoming annoying.

Imagine there's a language called ruby and you were a gem collector, wouldn't you find that annoying? Or is it just me?

-- cheap shot, sorry --

Yes its annoying that most languages use names that are not invented for the purpose. But it only annoys a very small proportion of people. What's the alternative?
