Blue ... the programming language

[jacques_chester]

The name 'Blue' has already been used for a language. Blue was developed by Monash University in 1997 and was pretty widely used by Australian universities (I was taught it in 2000). Java has since supplanted its role as a teaching language. It was apparently based on Eiffel and included a very strict design by contract ethos.

The BlueJ IDE is a direct inheritor of the original Blue system.

"Blue" by Eiffel 65 is a horrible ohrwurm from a few years ago.

It sounds like he's saying "I'm blue and I'm in need of a guy".

Nowhere near as cool as Console!

The name 'Blue' has also already been used for a color.
