Is it intentional that “Raspberry Pi” sounds like raspberry pie? Because if you don’t see it written down, this could be a perfectly normal order of some pie with RAM on the side.
The raspberry part is a reference to early microcomputer companies, a bunch of them used fruit names for their names. The pi stands for Python interpreter because it originally was intended to be primarily for python. Whether they intended for the pi to also be a reference to the constant 𝛑 and the whole name a pun on raspberry pie was never explicitly said by the founders, but i don’t think it wasn’t. I’m also wondering whether a Raspberry Pi would count as a dessert for a protogen
That’s an interesting bit of lore. I just accepted the name and never questioned it, but hearing the story behind it is cool.
