Shortened language names

Question

Why are some of the language’s names shortened in places such as the code section? (Why would c++ be cpp and c# be cs, they have the same amount of letters?)

Answer 1

To save space? Sometimes it's easier to remember the acronyms than the whole name.

Answer 2

Its probaly just part of the UI design.

Answer 3

And Py for Python. Some names are too long to display. Maybe if it isn’t shortened, Javascript will be displayed like jav... and... using cs instead of c# is better probably because letters are more beautifully displayed than symbols?

Answer 4

I use JS for Javascript a lot.

Answer 5

cpp is the C++ file format
