Yeah, we use gherkin, which is a variety of cucumber. Programmers name things weird. Java is a coffee bean and C is just a letter; they’ve just gotten big enough that people recognize them now.
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.
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.
Surprisingly, yes, I do. Cucumber is a testing tool

Java is also an island
(Sorry, small inside joke for German-speaking Java programmers)
Java for insels
And slang for coffee, which is some old tech too IIRC

I found this interesting, was there an A?
Proceeds to go look it up while still hoping for your knowledge
I wonder what A and B looked like XD

Gherkin is the syntax, Cucumber is a specific implementation.
