Then we can move on to inventing EspressoScript: It's the Good Parts of CoffeeScript, and not the bad!

Which will of course be forked to LatteScript, CappacinoScript and MachiatoScript. Real non-conformists will insist on TeaScript (or its fork - ChaiScript). After years of infighting, the industry will finally get behind a standard based on the least common denominator - CaffeineScript which will prompty be sued out of existence by the Caffeine JVM (overlay on .NET?).

By then, young developers will be so disillusioned with the whole process that they'll invent something totally different ... and who can blame them ;) Due to the vocal nature of its supporters, RubyRedGrapefruitScript becomes the default scripting language available in modern browsers.

I'm glad I know assembly language ... I can always go back to the beginning ;)

As often happens, the truth is more interesting than the satire...

Haha ... I only knew about a couple of them but that's quite a list. And we haven't even started listing the coffee-named projects related to Java (like Kaffe - http://www.kaffe.org/). I think I'd better quit now and get some code written!
