Yeah, exactly. THAI_SPICY_HOT was just one of many signals that I got that the MonkeyC project could have very much started out as an intern project or similar.
The list of languages the documentation claims MonkeyC takes inspiration from also denotes a certain type of programmer background:
> C, Java™, JavaScript, Python™, Lua, Ruby, and PHP all influenced the design for Monkey C
If I asked an embedded hardware expert to design a novel programming language for my highly resource-constrained wearables platform, I would be very surprised if these were the language touch points they used as their references in the design brief.
