Kinda expected a little story on how the languages A, B, C and D are related in a 'give a thing a name when you're out of ideas' way (and how they're not), but seeing these more creative names explained is fun to read, for sure. Thanks for the post :)
C came from B, which came from BCPL, and has been followed by D as well as C++, C# and Objective-C, which is actually searchable lol. It has nothing to do with the ABC language though, which actually inspired Python.

it was named after S
