BTC Lisp as an alternative to Script

BTC Lisp as an alternative to Script

The suggestion made proposes a creative naming convention for a programming language, humorously called "Thcript." This name playfully incorporates the idea of a "script" language with a "lisp," cleverly alluding to both its scripting capabilities and perhaps some unique syntactic or phonetic characteristics reminiscent of the Lisp programming language.

The proposal also includes an alternative approach which involves reimagining the term "Script" as being analogous to "BTC Forth," suggesting a parallel between the proposed language and the Forth programming language within the context of Bitcoin (BTC) development. This approach seeks to establish a continuity or consistency in how programming languages, particularly those used in specific domains such as blockchain, are named and conceptualized.
