The name of this language is stupid. It evokes violence, either via the bullet reference, or via the film of the same name. I'm not thin-skinned or even prone to political correctness, but I still find it slightly insensitive for no compelling reason.

Then I read the author's explanation (http://www.fmjlang.co.uk/fmj/Name.html), which makes a comparison between lisp (the programming language) and stereotypes about homosexuality (with the requisite "I have gay friends!" disclaimer).

Maybe the author should grow up.
