Firstly, I would like all of you to read this beautiful poem by cadhla.

Secondly, on the way to work this morning, I realized that driving without caffeine was not a good plan today, so I stopped at the local CyberBrew, as they're on the right side of the street and have had $1 specials lately, to get more people in. Today's special was a latte, which wasn't all that appealing, so I opted for a small Firewall -- two shots of espresso + brewed coffee. If that's drinkable black, you know the place has good coffee. Also, lots of caffeine bang for the buck. It's quite drinkable, so CyberBrew, or at least the Santee location, has the Nolly Seal of Approval.

However. You may have noticed the odd name of the beverage. Indeed, the drinks do have something of a geeky/'net theme in the naming. And so, I started thinking: what drinks would be named for what languages if one were to do a code-themed coffeshop?

Here's what samuraimeg and I have so far:

Perl: build your own (coffee, with or without flavor shots, espresso shots, etc., hot or iced -- TMTOWTDI!)
Python -- white mocha
C -- black coffee
C++ -- latte
Java -- mocha
Assembly -- espresso
Pascal -- decaf
VB -- hot chocolate
JavaScript -- tea
C# -- iced coffee
VB.NET -- mexican hot chocolate
ASP.NET -- cappucino (all foam, no backbone)
FORTRAN -- coffee beans
COBOL -- Americano
Ada -- peppermint latte

I went with assembly == espresso on the "strong but rough" grounds -- espresso is strong, but is often pretty bitter.
