I think the language is named after the island? Because Java is also named after an island and Jetbrains HQ is in Saint Peterburg

Java is also a term for coffee in most English speaking places. Words get re-used... As long as its not confusing to consumers, it's not really a problem. No one is going to think the ketchup company decided to create a programming language, and no one is going to think that Jetbrains has started making ketchup, will they?

@Mike what are you talking about? Kotlin is only a ketchup brand and will never be anything else

Fun fact: the name of the ketchup comes from the name of that place in Poland 😉

@Hamza I hope you're just joking around... Where I'm from, Heinz is the premiere ketchup brand. No such thing as a ketchup called Kotlin here.

Good 😉. I read the article, but that comment hadn't stuck in my mind. It is interesting how we all have certain associations based on where we grew up, and now that we're more global, they start to 'clash'.

Is there a place to actually buy these ? I could see meetups/#KotlinEverywhere events serve Kotlin-flavoured hot dogs 🌭
(besides going to Kotlin, PL :-))

You used Scala as search term, not as a programming language. It should be: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=RU&q=%2Fm%2F0_lcrx4,%2Fm%2F091hdj
