I've got an even better (probably much more obscure) question.  "This specialty programming language got its one-letter name because it started as a clone of another language whose name was the letter _after_ it in the alphabet."

    C++ was covered in the answer for 'C'.  I don't remember
    the exact answer that Trebek gave, but to paraphrase
    
    "Bjarne Stroustrup add ++ to this one letter language to
    create a new language".
    
    "What is C?"
