What was Java originally named as?


Any wild guesses?

Well orginally it was named as Oak. It was originally named as ‘OAK’ after the tree outside James Gosling office and later renamed to Java from a group of random words.

    James gosling ===> J
    Arthur Vanhoff ===> AV
    Andy bechtolsheim ===> A
