    I know you were just being a troll, but the more I think about it... "wall" would be a pretty brilliant name for this utopian new language. it's a pun: on one hand, it is an impenetrable, immovable barrier in the nomenclature/versioning of the language sequence; on the other, it's a monument to the exceeding hubris of the one who told us hubris is a virtue, and of his disciples.

      wall·e :)

      update

      hmm ... no ... "f" is the sixth letter ...
