It's a problem for those people, and the solution is to grow up. Why should adults care?

  Because nobody wants to say they program in cock

    1- Languages other than English exist, deal with it 2- Grow up 3- Say "cee-oh-queue"

      > Say "cee-oh-queue" This is the correct answer if you are truly unable to say "Coq". If you need a precedent for multiple ways to refer to the same language, SQL has your back.

    In French, the way the word "bit" is pronounced sounds the exact same as the French word for cock (not the rooster). I can assure you that French CS programming students get over it quickly. There's noone really asking for it to be renamed because it's understood that it's a commonly used foreign word. I'm not sure why an English professional scientist or programmer would be unable to take the same stance for a programming language invented in another country.
