Java was almost called Oak. Glad they changed it.

Output Redirection
Someone just visualized the Unix pipe operator in the most literal way possible. The command peel apple.txt | bunny is taking the output from peeling an apple and piping it directly into a bunny. In shell scripting, the pipe | redirects stdout from one command to stdin of another, but here it's just... feeding a rabbit. The precision of this visual metaphor is chef's kiss—you're literally taking the stream of peeled apple and redirecting it to the bunny process, which appears to be consuming it in real-time. No buffering, no intermediate files, just pure streaming I/O. The bunny's throughput seems pretty good too.
