it's much better than the other language called c so i think c++ is the most fitting name

[stohrendorf]

++C?

[skifli]

We can do one better. C++++, or simply put, E. This is extremely fitting as E is a common meme, and perfectly embodies everything that DreamBird C should be.

[opensofias]

well, when you are using one language, does the fact that that programming languages exist really matter? i think we should avoid global scope and just refer to it as "the (programming) language". it should be clear from context, and if it's not clear, it's probably someone else's problem.

[grahambates]

How about CScript? You can cash in on the hype around that other language and as a bonus make it sound similar enough to confuse recruiters for the next 30 years or so.

[Alazoral]

I think it should be called BEST (Berd Emphemeral Somnogenic Tropism), stylised 'best'.

Advantages
People can refer to 'the best programming language' without ambiguity. best is the best programming language.
This would save countless hours of pointless, fruitless debate.
Easy to market.

Disadvantages
The time freed might be used by developers to develop software of some kind, which averages out to be actually pretty catastrophically bad for humanity.

I think it should be simply called "" as it may get created by other todes
jk just call it C## (imagine it's 3D)
jk just call it jk
jk just call it perfect (Pre-eaten Refactorable emotional cat by TodePond)
jk i think E is nice

[chihabhajji]

Tail-Oxydized HTML and CSS C Trapazoid script
TOHCCTS for short

[matan-h]

What about calling it "Wayland", as a better alternative to twitter/X?

Then, when Elon Musk rename to twitter, he won't be able to choose it

[Nico314159]

I think it should be ++C

[abb128]

During renaming we should consider which names have symbols for them in the Unicode Math block so we can avoid having to design a complicated logo

[CacheUseOnly]

From the feature of the syntax, I vote for 'C!!', or 'C❗❗' to show support for Unicode.

[ihsan6133]

Rename the language to "👀", because only 👀 can C. Also it represents the revolutionary advances in unicode proessing of the language

[TSinChen]

X

[OrbintSoft]

Z!! because it's a perfect programming language and nothing better will ever come after Z

[0x62797465]

C[-1]++!

[RealDoigt]

It could just be called "Best" or "Perfect", because the perfect language doesn't need any other name.

[rotteegher]

it's much better than the other language called c so i think c++ is the most fitting name

Then what about naming it C!! or if you are bold then C!!!!!!

[TodePond]

Update: https://github.com/TodePond/C/discussions/320

[OrbintSoft]

A -> this language doesn't exist, but it's the first letter of Assembler
B -> derived from BCPL (1966)
C -> meant to successor of B (1972)
C++ -> meant to be better C, but not so much (1983)
C# -> he wants to better than C++, but they didn't like to call it C++++ (2000)
D -> it should be the true successor of C (2001)
-- from here they messed the timeline
E -> this tried to skip some letters to travel into future (1997)
F -> stands just for FORTRAN
F#, F* -> stands for Functional...
....

Z -> the definitive programming language. the name is not taken yet

[stohrendorf]

What about Omega?

[albertglebocki]

𝕏

[Supercip971]

ℂ

Because it is for representing the complexity of life, what we are and what we will be...
The truth is that everything is linked, by this language. C is not beautiful enough to describe this project, this monument, only ℂ can do it.
ℂ is C but better, the use of the utf-8 character make us able to use it as a logo even in text. We will copyright it as soon as possible.

[Braqzen]

A successor to HolyC

QCASL (pronounced castle or cueseeayessell if you're in recruiting)

For all of the clueless software nerds. This is known as marketing.

Or, to simplify: SQL

• Language

pronounced SKWEEEL

[proudmuslim-dev]

++C?

I heard it's faster!

[MandarinPine18]

From the feature of the syntax, I vote for 'C!!', or 'C❗❗' to show support for Unicode.

C!! would actually be a pretty fitting name, tbh

[everypizza1]

What about 🗿 or 🅱️ (for funny)

👍 if you like C!!
👎 if think it better be something else.

[MaddyUnderStars]

Why not DreamBerd? I believe such a revolutionary language must have an equally revolutionary brand and the name DreamBerd could be exactly that!

[PThorpe92]

[stohrendorf]

Well, the DreamBerd Foundation's policies state that it only owns that doesn't contain the word "DreamBerd", which is why it was renamed. This is also unfortunate as the DreamBerd Foundation no longer owns the Primeagen.

[everypizza1]

D++

[daephx]

DreamBerd also known as D♭

C sharp (C#) and D flat (D♭) are the same note on a keyboard.

C2? Or even D? Honestly, I think C/C++ and all the other suggestions are confusing as they already exist

[skifli]

They are meant to be confusing as they are jokes. By the way, D also already exists lol.

@riyanswat please could you link me to the existing C and C++ I haven't heard of them

[PThorpe92]

C and C++ I haven't heard of them

Some guys named Ken Ritchie, Dennis Stoustroup and Bjarne Thompson I think.

[loglot]

Infact I think I've heard of c2, just not any of the others

[Alazoral]

I managed to find another language called C using those names but it's clearly just a parody language with no practical implementations or uses. My favourite joke was when they suggested programmers manage their own memory use, so you literally have to request and then clear memory EVERY TIME, PERFECTLY, and if you use it incorrectly then literally anything can happen. I had a pretty good chuckle!

I can't see the appeal in joke languages. Some of us actually have jobs to do!!!

ah.. didn't read the previous replies so I missed the joke

[mybearworld]

Is this resolved now?

[TodePond]

No this vote will finish in 2099 as stated in the release notes

[opensofias]

Is this resolved now?

no, C still needs to be renamed.

[mybearworld]

No this vote will finish in 2099 as stated in the release notes

Ah, makes sense

[Rudxain]

What about 🗿 or 🅱️ (for funny)

If we're doing emojis, why not a combination?

FNAF REFERENCE?!?!?!1111

[cpu012]

rename all other languages languages to python:
this will make it easier for beginners

[Rudxain]

sudo alias python=*

Done. If you want the nuke solution...

for lang in "${langs[@]}"
do
  sudo mv -- "$lang" /usr/bin/python
done

Okay, yes, but, hear me out.
