Anyone else notice all the Zin vehicles are named for programming terms?

I was at first reluctant to create a new thread just for this, but I figured if there's a thread this would be better for that I didn't see, it can always be moved. Anyway, as I said in the subject, has anyone noticed that all the Zin vehicles (XOR, ASSERT, VOID, and DESTRUCTOR) are named after programming terms? At first I didn't think they all were (just three of them) but just recently it dawned on me that "destructor" has a meaning in programming as well. I probably didn't notice at first because that's actually a pretty "normal" name for a tank in a video game. For anyone who's unfamiliar with the terms:

• XOR - A logical or bitwise operator that returns true if one bit is true, but not the other.
• ASSERT - A debugging/testing feature in some programming languages that causes an error if an expression isn't true at a certain point in a program. If it's not true at that point, you know something's wrong with the code.
• VOID - Refers to a function that doesn't return any value, or a pointer to data of an undefined type.
• DESTRUCTOR - A procedure that is called when an instance of a class is removed from memory ("destroyed").

Just thought I would share a little piece of trivia I noticed.

What about Recursor? It is an alien tank, too.

I dont know if this would be the same thing but I just found this

Yep, recursion is an important programming topic. It refers to a function that calls itself, e.g.

int fibonacci(int index)
{
    if (index <= 0) return 0;
    if (index == 1) return 1;
    else return fibonacci(index - 1) + fibonacci(index - 2);
}

holy shit volition you cheeky dickwaffles. XDDDDDDDDDD
its the little things that make a game even awesomer. :3
