Argh. These sorts of coined puzzle words need to die. (And don't even get me started on the "rona".)


Why? It's not like it's hard to Google it or even guess the meaning (at least in this particular case).


Making up a phrase to give a language a label based a vague notion of popularity is pretty nonsensical. If people start using it, is it no longer an 'esolang'?



Aside from the thought that it's effete, precious, and obnoxious, it makes the headline incomprehensible just to save six letters (or to seem trendy). Ugh.


In general I agree, but I'll give this one a pass for being meta.
