The language name seems to be a pun on Ada (programming language) tribute to Ada Lovelace http://www.kamat.com/vikas/blog.php?BlogID=261 and is actually named after another famous Lovelace, Linda Lovelace star of such classic porn films as Deep Throat http://cisnet.baruch.cuny.edu/papers/cis200210.pdf.
