I would love to see a running list of languages named like this. There are many, but I guess I can’t find or remember them since they’re all named so generically. Processing is the only other one I can think of at the moment.
edit: from Wikipedia's list of languages I found the following:
"Action!", "Basic", "BLISS", "Cool", "Hack", "Pure", "SMALL". Some of them are acronyms/retronyms. Special mentions: Smalltalk and High level shader language (HLSL).
I think they mean languages named pretentiously not languages whose name is reused. Not many things (non-programming included) are named after putting letters into a blender and seeing what comes out.
