Do they honestly expect me to believe that there wasn't a more appropriate way to abbreviate "cumulative maximum" than cummax? Imagine the headaches the inventor of the world's first Python powered sexbot will suffer when they realise that the method name cummin has already been taken.

If you think that's bad, you should see how much cum functions numpy has.

I can't help but read numpy as numpty unless it's capitalised as NumPy. Why is Python such an unserious language? The 16-18 year olds I learned PHP and SQL with 20+ years ago, always sremoveded when one of the teachers talked about "queries" or the website's "backend". The instructors would have probably had a stroke if they had to teach them about cum functions.
