What's my name? Produce the name of the language indirectly [closed]

Question

Produce only the name of a programming language using only the facilities of the language itself. The name of the language can only be invoked indirectly, i.e., from non custom environment variables, built-in functions or methods or the interpreter/compiler of the language. Output should be the name of the language only.

One example would be:

$ awk --v | awk 'NR<2 { print $2}'  # GNU Awk 3.1.8
Awk

The answer I select will be the one with the most up votes. In case of a tie, the shortest golfed version (separate or the only given answer), will be the tie breaker.

public class J {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Random r = new Random(-2134197984);

        }
        System.out.println(s);
    }
}

Answer 11

JavaScript

Both of these include the "Script" part of JavaScript as a string literal. Could someone suggest a way to derive that part from the DOM when no script elements exist in the document?

JavaScript was named after Java (77)

for(i in navigator)i[4]=='E'&&alert(i[0].toUpperCase()+i.slice(1,4)+'Script')

Script elements have a "language" attribute (218, works in Chrome/Safari only)

u=123;for(w=l=97;w<u;++w)for(x=l;x<u;++x)for(y=l;y<u;++y)for(z=l;z<u;document.write('<script language="'+n+'script">this._?alert(n[_=0].toUpperCase()+n.slice(1)+"Script"):_=1</script>'))n=String.fromCharCode(w,x,y,z++)

Java

class j {
    public static void main(String a[]){
        System.out.print(Character.UnicodeBlock.of(43392).toString().substring(0,4));
    }
}

The Character constant referenced is the Unicode block of Javanese, which contains the aksara Jawa characters traditionally used for writing the Javanese language. :)

Answer 27

Ruby(35)

Using the RUBY_DESCRIPTION variable may be cheating a little, but I'm not using the string "ruby" at least.

puts RUBY_DESCRIPTION.split(' ')[0]

Answer 28

PHP (24-25)

25 with Bash:

a=`php -v`&&echo ${a:0:3}

24 if we can omit <?php:

echo substr(__FILE__,-3)

Answer 29

Haskell, 52

main=putStr$map(enumFrom 'G'!!)[1,26,44,36,30,37,37]

Could be shorter if the answer can be case insensitive. I chose to start at 'G' because Haskell has no G's in its name, and 'G' comes before 'H' using enumFrom. This solution does not define anything other than main.

Answer 30

Erlang, 21 chars

[H|_]=pre_loaded(),H.

Run in the interactive shell. This works in R14B02 but I don't know if the Erlang module will always be first in the list.
