Etymology

The species name refers to the colorful maculation and is derived from Latin festivus (meaning joyous).[2]

gollark: (always)
gollark: Also, I have a perfectly good solution for much of the modern internet: just don't use JS and switch to plain CSS/HTML. You do not actually need it.
gollark: If I were designing it *from scratch*, I think I would mostly just put in an existing programming language (Lua!) with coherent design, design the APIs more coherently and asynchronously, fix the cross-origin security model from the start, that sort of thing.
gollark: How exciting. I MUST populate all cons cells with apiary forms.
gollark: But what if I want more than about 2.6843546e+08 cons cells?!
