Yes, it would be cool & ironic but never caught on. People are much
more interested in naming the users of Rust, since it is definitely a
club!

Well, 'bash' is already a violent word, and it does stray from the
POSIX path in ... odd ways. Man, imagine being one of the Bash
maintainers and thinking of Yet Another Funky Feature (can substitute
the adjective if desired)

The sheer design coherence of Lua is a rare light in a sea of ad-hoc
bundles of features marketed as languages. (Go just half-asses so many
things. But the overall experience is fairly relaxing and productive.
I ponder this apparent contradiction a lot)
