The programming language of the future is... Latin?

I'm enjoying the appendix A of the module page. Creative word choices. Here
are some good ones.

Perl:            Latin:                    Definition:
STDERR    oraculo                "a place where doom is pronounced"
sub {...}     factorum sic..sis    "one who does as follows...to here"
shift            decapita               "behead"

and it's opposite
unshift        capita                    "crown"
srand         prosemina                "to scatter seed"

Just thought it was interesitng.
