"The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language." Donald Knuth, 1967
I ask for your ideas unashamedly, knowing that amongst you, passing as regulation-issue geeks and nerds, are prognosticators, platitudinissimi, and psychics, as well as comedians whose arts range in shade from black to procul-harum-whiter-shade-of-pale.

So, may I ask you, rhetorically, with great tenderness, and ... let me reassure you ... no hoist-you-on-your-own-petard intentionality: "haven't you already imagined ... even made notes for ... the next great programming language, or thought of the Name-of-Names for this wonder ?"

So, if it's not too presumptuous to ask, and wouldn't constitute the equivalent of a pre-launch leak that would scuttle your ship of dreams whilst it was still in drydock:

What's the Name ?

p.s. If you'll kindly read the sig just below, I invite you to think of what would have happened if Kay had opted for MOP, rather than OOP.
«OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things. »  Alan Kay's clarification on what he meant by the term "Object" in "Object-Oriented Programming."
