While it is not very useful for real-world applications, it was (is?) somewhat popular among CS students because of the challenging nature of implementing seemingly trivial tasks with it. Other such languages include INTERCAL (the only language that has a "comefrom" instruction instead of "goto") and BEFUNGE, a language that uses a two-dimensional command structure. I think there's nothing wrong with using names of programming languagess for host names and/or kernel names. Best regards Oliver PS: Some links for those interested ...
