There are sure a lot of people that find so tasteless "stalin" as "hitler" for
the name of a programming languuage. And people in Gaza would sure
not like to program in "netanyahu".
 
I approve of Stalin, Hitler and even 1488 as programming language names. I don't approve any references to the ongoing events on the other hand, especially this one.

The compiler technology used is arguably cool.

It absolutely is. Maybe one could have thought a bit about the acrynom before announcing it (after a few pints, I guess). But it is en vouge today to quote things out of context to harm people, that is a sad fact about todays' culture. The compiler is great, the historical figure is on a complete other page. No, another book. In a different library.
