java = coffee (in a typical english slang java means coffee) James Gosling, the inventor of Java technology wanted to name his new product Oak considering an Oak tree near the window of his office. But they discovered that Oak is an old programming language that was previously used. He went with his friend to a mexican cafe. They ordered two cups of coffe, the waiter said the word 'Coffe' in a mixcan accent. James Gosling decided to name it coffee, but he wanted in another way. He looked at the dictionary to discover an alternatives for "Coffee", he found "JAVA". This is the story
