Revolution as a good name for programming software?

[simplsol at aol.com]

Why not just call it "Rev" (many of us do so anyway)?
It is short.
It is a word, a verb; you "rev" an engine to make it go faster (perfect 
name for the fastest programming language).
It would google well.
Transcript could become "Revscript" and we'd all live happily ever 
after.

    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.
