French is my native language and I just realized that the # in C# is the same character as for the diese music character that raises a note by a half tone.Also, As I made my music elementary class in french, I did not realized that the C was also a musical note, as in french we use do.With a little searching, I noticed that this link was made on purpose.So, here is my question: Is that link obvious for English native speaker? Does that link automatically activate some bell as the for the BASIC acronym and a fundamental piece of knowledge, or the SOAP acronym and the cleaning compound.
Is the link between C# programming language and music obvious for English native speaker?

I suppose it was obvious even for non-native English speakers or even English non-speakers, but no longer than for the first 10 minutes from the moment of learning of the existence of the language C#.After that nobody gave it a second thought.The naming choice is however a bad one. '#' is a special character and is therefore ignored by search engines. Whenever you look for C#-related information, input help erases the '#' character so if you don't notice and click search you get the results for C. And even if you put the character back you will still get mixed results for the C/C++ content.
