Something short, simple, fundamental, low-level and deeply techie:

Xor, XORY

------

These are all excellent names: C, C++, Rust, Ada, Julia, Shell, Bash, etc.

>These are all excellent names

Wholeheartedly agree. what about something like Sage? B? You/U? Manifest?

I can't say what I would name a language, but I always loved "WSFN" which stands for nothing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSFN_(programming_language) .
