There's no abbreviation of Java that isn't weird. These all work well: perl -> pl python -> py rust -> rs ruby -> rb javascript > js But java? java -> ja? jv? jav? Clearly Sun should've gone with a different name for the language entirely, I dunno, maybe they could've named it after an oak tree instead: oak -> ok Hmm, maybe I could get used to "jv" after all.

  ".jay". Why not?

Why would "ruby -> rb" be okay but not "java -> jv"?

  .ja would be german for .yes.

The logo has always been a cup of coffee (one of the meanings of the word "java"), so maybe either ".cof" or ".caf" (for "caffeine")

Boiled down to its essence: ".137"
