5# Programming
7Urbit's programming language is called Hoon. It's a strict,
8typed functional language without category theory. Hoon is not
9closely related to any older language.
11Hoon is named after a Wallace Stevens poem. Coincidentally, it
12means "hooligan" in Australian. Practically, "Hoon" is a short
13punchy name which search engines handle well.
