The language of coding is almost all metaphorical, some food & food-adjacent terms offhand:

  - bit, byte
  - server
  - curry
  - salted hash
  - spaghetti code
  - code smell
  - syntactic sugar
  - java
And the hardware world is full of fruit -- Adafruit, Apple, and many flavors of Pi.


> - curry

Fun fact, this was named after Haskell Curry. Haskell is also named after him.

Named after Haskell Brooks Curry. The Brook programming language is also named after him!

It also works better as a verb than Schönfinkel or Frege: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_Sch%C3%B6nfinkel#Work

Although now I'm tempted to use more fregging in my functional code.
