What exactly is so brilliant about naming a programming language after a porn star, especially one famous subjected to sexual abuse? How on earth is it a "subtle reference" to Ada Lovelace? What do they have in common, apart from both being women? I don't understand the premise for this article.

They have a surname in common, it seems. The article calls Linda a porn star, but she became an anti-porn activist. I call sexism on the article for childishly thinking that loose association with sex makes something "best ever", and double sexism for failing to acknowledge her choice to stop.

  Oh, good point on the surname. Don't know how I managed to miss that. Totally agree on the rest of your comment.

    "Oh, good point on the surname. Don't know how I managed to miss that." Don't feel bad. You were not the only one.
