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) .

what about the following?: - B - Sage - manifest

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

Xor, XORY

------

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