Stack Overflow : a new site for programming Q&A.

[Paul Looney]

Calling the program "Revolution" and calling the programming language  
"Revolution" is certainly confusing. The name "Revolution" is not all  
that great to begin with.
I call the program "Rev" and the language "Revcode". I use "Revcode"  
as both a noun and a verb.
I like "Rev" because it means go faster; you "rev" an engine.  
"Revcode" is, as we all know, fast code.
