  That’s because it’s a stupid take. Believing brazil named a programming language after a Spanish word is pretty embarrassing too but I guess English speakers do that constantly.

    'murica did send a president who made a toast to “the people of Bolivia”. During a dinner with the Brazilian president. In Brasilia. So, yeah, there’s precedent for their ignorance.

  Here “edible” is a drug. it means Python is going in all and every directions like someone high on drugs.

    I get that part. I just don’t understand how the analogy relates to the programming languages. Maybe it really is just a shitty analogy from someone who doesn’t know much about either language.

      This is it. OOP is a first-year CS student who thinks he’s edgy.
