>It seems we are running out of letters, sharps and flats of the music scale to use for naming programming languages. We have an imposed limit of 12. Therefore, I propose we begin using Greek or Church Modes of which there are 7, (8 if you really do your homework!), and combine these with the music scale to name additional programming languages as they become available. Think of the possibilities!
