> what the heck a glass fish is.

In Biodiversity, a glass fish includes a few group of Asian fishes that show crystal transparent bodies to hide from predators. Specially when young. They are vertebrates that evolved transparent muscles. Two gens are kept in aquariums: Parambassis ranga and several ghost catfish from gen Kriptopterus.

We can assume that the programmer likes aquariums. The word Yakarta is not random, as is related with the catfishes distribution.

Jakarta was chosen by the Eclipse Foundation because it is the largest city on the island of Java, and Oracle is virulently litigious around the Java trademark.
