Again. You have one script, say /usr/local/bin/ring-the-bells.sh
You use it in several other scripts. If you now re-implement it
in your favourite Pascal as ring-the-bells.pas or something, you
go over all your executables and fix that?

IMO an executable name should indicate /what/ an executable does,
not /how/.

This is something totally different. Call the function by
what it does, but -- again -- not by how.

It is your prerogative, of course. I'm happy that ls is ls
and git, git (not ls.i-was-implemented-in-c or something).
