Pithon, haha


This version runs circles around other languages. Well ... half a circle, anyway.


First there was PyPI and pypy, now there is PiPy


Hopefully Pipi (German for pee) won't come anytime soon. But enough bad jokes for today.


PyPi, right?

Can't wait for PyPyPi.


Or Pijthon in Dutch.


Hej! Nijce!


Not Pijthon?


I feel like I’m having a stroke.


You should hear the Dutch say "yah-vah-shchkript" with a throat clear and spit take.


The Dutch pronunciation of javascript differs from the English one only in the first syllable. Roughly zero dutchies would insert the Dutch schr- sound in a loanword, and even fewer would do that while leaving the foreign -ipt suffix intact.


Maybe they're just taking advantage of the opportunity to expectorate then.


πthon
