"I’ve renamed the language from Unf to Tulip, because some folks pointed out that the old name created an unnecessarily sexualized environment"

Are fifth graders critiquing programming languages now? Seriously, who makes that association and then feels the need to comment on it?

[jneen]

It was a decision I made, partly because I realized they were right, and partly because I think tulips are pretty.

unnecessarily sexualized logo

she's doing a high kick away from the viewer?

um, it's a flower

“Unf” is quite widely used as a spelling of a moan, to express sexual desire or gratification. While it can be used to express non-sexual enjoyment, the sexual connotation it evokes is just unnecessary when it comes to a programming language, regardless of the original intent.

While I've never seen this use personally, UrbanDictionary very strongly corroborates this.

It’s worth noting that “universal noise of fucking” is a backronym—the word was originally onomatopoeic.

It is, still, but urbandictionary users like making inaccurate definitions as an attempt at "humour"

As an counter datapoint, this is the first time I have ever heard of this.

[TazeTSchnitzel]

Perhaps as "umph" or "umf"? No?

[david-given]

No, not even slightly.

FWIW, I grew up in Scotland, then moved to England, so I'm probably from a rather different cultural background than the poster.

As a non-native speaker, I have seen "umph" before.
