Revolution as a good name for programming software?

[Bill]

You have a very good point. Java is an example of nearly the best possible
name for a programming language. It is a normal word but not such a common
one. It is such a cool name that "JavaScript" took the name too. I think
part of the success of Java was because of the name.

But... Isn't it a little to late to change the name of "Revolution"? Or
maybe we could always call it "RunRev" and then at least people could find
it instantly in a google search. It's not as easy to remember as "Java" but
if you repeat "runtime revolution" as well as "RunRev" people should
remember it.
