How about GRAIL?

How about "SING"?

SING
Is
Not
GEL

Technically, I don't think this would violate the copyright, since if
one were to expand this acronym recursively, the word GEL would never
actually show up....

Hmmm, perhaps you mean 'the word SING would never actually show up.'
The word GEL would appear in the final expansion an infinite number of
times (once for each time that you expanded "SING").

Well, to the extent that the language is a response to TCL, maybe
it should be called GGL

(Hint: TCL is pronounced "tickle", so GGL is pronounced ____)

meaning Gnu Glue Langugae, of course :-)

Not bad...  GRAIL and GUILE somehow seem a bit uppity.

GESCHEME (it's the gnu extension scheme, and it's the gnu extension Scheme).

But GGL is is pretty damn cute.

Why not just make a C-Interpreter and use that instead of a new
programming language.

This seems to give the best of everything to everyone. Best of all you
don't have to learn yet another programming language.

   Why not just make a C-Interpreter and use that instead of a new
   programming language.

Emacs Lisp, Common Lisp and Scheme come with interpreters AND compilers.

   This seems to give the best of everything to everyone. Best of all you
   don't have to learn yet another programming language.

Unless you HATE C/C++. Why should I learn them?

Sarcastically yours
