Why are people getting downvoted for saying coq is not exactly a great name. It's not, no matter it's definition it sounds like cock, not a great name to advertise the language.

I mean if someone created a programming language called vagina, labia, penis or sphincter it would be ridiculed, cause it's not an appropriate name for a language.

"Cock" in English means exactly the same thing as "coq" in French. So, yes, the language is called "cock". Do you have anything against this beautiful bird?
I personally don't care about the bird, I am just into coq.
I prefer this beautiful bird:

Because they are concern trolling. However, if they were really offended by something so minor, then they deserve ridicule.
