Programming language for literate programming law specification - GitHub - CatalaLang/catala: Programming language for literate programming law specification
This programming language is named after Pierre Catala who is, together with Lucien Mehl, a pioneer of French legal informatics. Beware, the name Catala is typographically close to the name of the Catalan language written in Catalan : Català. However, the very narrow scope of our programming language should not be prone to set any confusion given the existing wide influence of the Catalan language and culture.
Related, the name of the [computer] language can be confused with the name of the Catalan language (Català), as noted in this lobste.rs comment:

But then France has a long tradition of suppressing minority languages:

It also sounds like katala, which means “wicked” or “devious” in Finnish.
