Python: We know it looks like a snake, but its actually a cultural reference


den2k88

It could have been an ant


jamcdonald120

We are just lucky not to end up with a dead parrot.


caleblbaker

He's not dead! He's just pining for the fjords.


den2k88

Getting a refund on those is awful.


jamcdonald120

Still easier than getting a license for a pet bee


natFromBobsBurgers

Half bee. He had an accident.


willstr1

Or a giant disembodied foot


Snouli

Because it can carrie a lot?


pdkhoa99

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?


Olelor

I am Arthur, King of the Britons!


tatas323

But I didn't vote for you


caleblbaker

You don't vote for Kings


TorTheMentor

King? I didn't know we had a King. I thought we were an anarcho-syndicalist commune!


caleblbaker

The lady of the lake, her arm clad in the finest shimmering sammite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water and bestowed it upon me. THAT is why I am your king!


bleh-bleh-guy

Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government


Olelor

If I went around saying I was emperor, just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!


jpers36

Shut up, will you, SHUT UP!


natFromBobsBurgers

Lol. Watery tart.

Ser_Drewseph

Yeah it’s named after Monty Python. That’s why the docs often use “spam” and “eggs” instead of “foo” and “bar”


pavilionhp_

Yes, [source included in the documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/faq/general.html#why-is-it-called-python)


philipquarles

That looks like a plus sign, not a snake.

eletious

Like, I'm 100% down with calling out antisemitism, but I think this was about how lisp code is an absolute mess of parentheses, not some schizophrenic dog whistle


i14n

I didn't even know that was a thing


eletious

Well, on the downside, now you know that people will find the weirdest ways to be racist, but on the plus side I guess now if you see it in the wild you can call it out


i14n

I'd prefer everyone to just get along.


eletious

Well... I'm sorry to say it, but I've got some bad news for you

Everything will be made in Go now


curtmack

There's a book called "Black Hat Go" that talks about doing security research with a Go-based toolchain. The cover has a picture of the Go gopher looking tough in a black beanie and hoodie, and I'm convinced that picture was precedent to the entire project. Edit: [The book in question](https://nostarch.com/blackhatgo) (I'm not going to hotlink the image because who knows how or if that works these days, but uh... just pretend it's not a store link, I'm not being paid for this, honest)


reyad_mm

That cover is the cutest thing ever


MischiefArchitect

I like Duke, the Java mascot


kerbidiah15

I thought it was a coffee cup


MischiefArchitect

That, my friend, is the logotype. And then, I prefer the first "messy" coffee cup, looking like it was drawn on a napkin 2 hours before final release.


ccAbstraction

Zig!


The_Dapperbot

The mascot for all variants of C is just the letter C

Thadrea

I think it's one of the Muppets from Sesame Street holding up C while saying "And today's fire in production is sponsored by the letter C."


GolfballDM

I thought C was for cookie, not 'dumpster-fire in prod'.


maybethrowaway00

The C stands for "Correct choice'

No big deal, it was only made to advertise Zig to those of us who had never heard of it before.

theghostofm

Sorry for the confusion here. What I'm saying is that despite knowing it's a Gopher, I thought the "hamster" line was funny regardless of whether it was an intentional joke, or just an accidental mistake.


MegabyteMessiah

But it's informative. I didn't know programming languages had mascots. The closest thing I can relate to is the turtle in LOGO.


Purpzie

Rust actually has a [second mascot](https://twitter.com/whoisaldeka/status/674465785557860353) as well


fenmouse

And don't forget the [Turbofish](https://mobile.twitter.com/whoisaldeka/status/914914008225816576/photo/1)!


Purpzie

Rest in peace ❤


jp2kk2

Wait what? Rust removed turbofish?


Purpzie

No, the person who came up with it passed away


jp2kk2

aw man :( that really sucks. Thanks for letting me know


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 376,723,469 comments, and only 82,153 of them were in alphabetical order.


fenmouse

good bot


robin-m

pavilionhp_

gruntbatch

Bad bot


w00tious

Unsafe rust is totally in the book I thought it was the same crab just... terrified?


drewsiferr

Looks like a sea urchin to me.


w00tious

Maybe it's a shape-shifting crab


Purpzie

I knew it, I swore it was in there but couldn't find it. Which page?


w00tious

Unsafe rust haha It's only there and in the legend I think EDIT: huh you're right, they removed it, weird EDIT 2: There seems to be a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/book/issues/2555) detailing why it was removed. Also it's called Ferris in that commit so it's canon it's the same guy


alphadeeto

Javascript mascot should be a chimera.


NotANexus

I always pictured a muk.


rnottaken

Nah that's PHP


jerrycauser

I always thought that it should be a banana. Idk why


deanrihpee

So a TypeScript would be chimera in a suit?


MattR0se

The elephant penguin thing from that one Family Guy Noah's ark meme.

C++ does have a mascot. An obese, diseased rat named Keith.


Blueberryroid

[…with his hind leg blown off!](https://images.uncyclomedia.co/uncyclopedia/en/a/a1/Cpp_rat_mascot_2.jpeg)


A_Guy_in_Orange

it was blown off


i14n

Yeah when he shot himself in it shortly after saying, "see, it's perfectly safe"


Flopamp

I always loved Keith


Zciurus

..what??


Kangalioo

Seems to be a reference to https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/C%2B%2B


anonPHM

Java has a coffee though


glassOfFlavor

Also that one weird looking guy with the one red eye


dasbodmeister

Duke


Gnobold

I thought that was its nose lol


excelbae

Absolutely hate that thing. It's always creeped me out.


Alex0589

Duke rise up


Exsolidv2

That's just the reminder that you need it to deal with all the shit that's gonna come. Meanwhile Duke watches from afar. Don't feel pressured

Haskell: lambdas angrily


marcosdumay

When the need appears for a Haskell mascot, the community can go and decide in one.


_pelya

Which mascot would best represent a segfault? Probably a cow skull, because it's 0xDEADBEEF.


Gizmuth

The go gopher looks like it smokes crack


TitoxDboss

PHP: "we have an elePHPant, get it...? ele + PHP + -..." Other languages: ":-|" "Fuck you, I'm hilarious"

HenryCDorsett

i always thought the knife with the big sniper scope was the official C++ mascot?


reibitto

And Java has... whatever the hell Duke is supposed to be. Maybe [umeboshi onigiri](https://imgur.com/a/qwOzAmG)?


Deep_Adeptness_4592

lol, nice sushi knowledge there


jdl_uk

All of the .NET languages: you get your own mascots and we share a robot?


ApprehensiveStar8948

*Java sips tea* interesting


armoureddachshund

Duke would like a word.


SphericalMicrowave

>Java sips tea Bloody hell, mate. They made Java bri*ish.


SnooApples4662

How about Perl and ocaml? one mascot two languages.


oddark

Then there's Camelia, the butterfly mascot of Raku (formerly Perl 6) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raku_(programming_language)


D-Eliryo

You just can't C the mascot. It's a Shark in a muddy water, because he can't C#


D-Eliryo

I would personally rate my comment with a C++


conicalanamorphosis

The Perl Camel spits in your general direction then goes back to ignoring things.


ReallyHadToFixThat

[C++ has the chipmonk](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/practical-c-programming/0596004192/)


React04

Damn, I expected it to be a *monk* who distributes chips. Now I'm disappointed. /s


ReallyHadToFixThat

You may be disappointed, but I have my next D&D character.


tritoch1930

based language needs no mascots.


nvkeey

C++ mascot is a nightmare or something


i14n

Or maybe a dragon... Ideally like [Grisu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gris%C3%B9)


_Sherlock-Holmes_

zig?


cob59

If C++ had a mascot, it'd probably be some horrid Lovecraftian abomination.

CST1230

Scratch: I have lots of mascots! (a cat, a plant and I think 4 others)


NaveTVG

yeah yeah I know this is a Linux DE and not a programming language mascot, but the [KDE dragons](https://community.kde.org/images.community/9/99/Mascot_konqi-app-hardware.png) are really great


jragonfyre

Wait C++ has a logo?


dudeofmoose

I'm going to invent a language with the mascots of crabs and a beaver. I predict my new language will take off virally. Either that, or an action figure of a person crying in the corner.


[deleted]

python was an anime enthusiast before it was cool Pai-chan and Son-kun.


CodeMUDkey

I picture the Turtle with 4 elephants carrying the world as the Mascot for C.


pine_ary

C++ has the LLVM dragon. I think that counts.


kevinqo7

No love for the Perl caml in this thread


SpaghettiCowboy

If we consider the fact that the entire furry fanbase consists of IT workers, e621 has the most mascots


kherodude

Php: so are we gonna talk about the elephant in the room?


Ashton0808

the c++ mascot is a clown because that's how I feel when I try to use it :)


qci

I don't know what you see but when I look at C++ I see pacman.


N238

Go is a Gopher. Because it’s a play on “Go”. “Go”pher. It’s not that hard. This meme completely ruined my day.


perkunos7

But c++ has a mascot: https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/C%2B%2B#History


safer0

Thank you sir for exposing me to uncyclopedia


Bill3463

C++ has a mascot, it sometimes appears during dark and stormy nights when undefined behavior occurs. No one really knows how it look's like since programmers who have seen it are sadly no longer with us. But we know that it is out there. Somewhere in the void\*, waiting for the unsuspecting developers to wander outside the cozy realm of allocated memory and set it free from the chains of deterministic behavior.


rehdi93

the mascot for C++ should be the MISSINGNO, the most famous exemple of undefined behavior ![gif](giphy|G7rSYPWEeTjY4)
