Reviving my old throwaway account to confirm that I indeed thought of "fleshlight" immediately after reading the announcement. Keep in mind that the average coder is far more likely to read Reddit daily (where this reference comes up surprisingly often) than to do things that require a flashlight (own a house somewhere remote, etc)
as a non-native english speaker I'll humbly admit that fleshlight was indeed the first word that popped into my mind when reading the title, because I never say flashlight but lampe-torche (while a "fleshlight" is an occasional fun present / recurrent meme for friends birthday or stuff like that)
As a non native english speaker I knew the word flashlight years before I knew that you could use torch to mean the same thing (and not just a burning stick). Websters even seems to claim that this is mostly a British thing.
