Yeah, we use gherkin, which is a variety of cucumber. Programmers name things weird. Java is a coffee bean and C is just a letter; they’ve just gotten big enough that people recognize them now.
It’s the successor to B, which was derived from BCPL (“Basic Combined Programming Language”)
Incidentally, C++ is a reference to how integer values are iterated in C. And then C# is a pithy take on C++ wherein you’ve stacked two rows of plus signs on top of each other.
There’s often some rhyme or reason to these names.

I found this interesting, was there an A?
Proceeds to go look it up while still hoping for your knowledge
With capybara and selenium
Gherkin is the syntax, Cucumber is a specific implementation.
Java is also an island
(Sorry, small inside joke for German-speaking Java programmers)
And slang for coffee, which is some old tech too IIRC
Java for insels
I wonder what A and B looked like XD
