Java is also an island

(Sorry, small inside joke for German-speaking Java programmers)

Gherkin is the syntax, Cucumber is a specific implementation.

C is just a letter

It's the successor to B, which was derived from BCPL ("Basic Combined Programming Language")

Incidentally, C++ is a reference to how integer values are iterated in C. And then C# is a pithy take on C++ wherein you've stacked two rows of plus signs on top of each other.

There's often some rhyme or reason to these names.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things

Have always personally seen Gherkin being used with Cucumber, as I believe that they're two parts of the same whole, but I'm happy to be corrected if wrong :).

My understanding is that Gherkin is the syntax used to write the scenarios / acceptance criteria, whilst Cucumber is the tool that interprets said scenarios and executes them as automated tests.

I wonder what A and B looked like XD
