Jerry recently saw a blog on the SAP Community: It's Steampunk now.
Original blog: https://blogs.sap.com/2019/08/20/its-steampunk-now/
What is Steampunk (Steampunk) there is an article entitled 10 large steam punk movie on watercress, begins with the definition given in this steampunk WORDS?:
(1) often rely on certain assumptions technology, creating a parallel world in the 19th century, the Western world of overhead;
(2) In the world of steampunk, the often backward and advanced co-existence, magic and science coexist;
(3) Most steampunk works always emphasized the possibility of science and technology out of control. In a sense, all steam punk dystopia;
(4) Some looks simple but a lot of complicated structure, but functional form of classical modern machinery, vehicles and even weapons appear.

Jerry has not read, it is very convinced that there must be a "Chronicles variation" of a place - This is a Jerry left a very deep impression to steam punk sci-fi movie. Steam punk friends are interested in the movie, Jerry found the film worth seeing.
Originated in the 1980s in the ABAP language, together with Netweaver together, in the last decades of enterprise management software in the ever-changing field, it has proven to be an extremely successful development platform.
Customers on the one hand, the massive global business run on ABAP-based SAP solutions, on the other hand, with the deepening of the transformation of today's wave of industry cloud, SAP are responding with a growing number of cloud solutions, such as He played a central role in the digital digital transformation of SAP S / 4HANA, the corresponding solutions in the cloud, namely S / 4HANA Cloud.
Jerry before a series of articles about Kyma number of public already mentioned, for SAP C / 4HANA speaking, SAP Cloud Platform Extension Factory is an important secondary development tools and platforms.
同样的，对于完全由ABAP语言编写的S/4HANA和Cloud版本来说，同样需要提供一个类似的平台，允许其客户和partners在其上方便地进行二次开发。最理想的情况，就是partners之前在On-Premises系统里积累的开发技能可以继续使用，同时在这个新的平台里，能够方便地使用SAP云平台上提供的各种基于云的功能强大的服务。
至此，一种新的ABAP运行环境，呼之欲出。
和Golang，Scala，Swift这些诞生于本世纪的编程语言相比，ABAP在某些人的眼中或许显得有些老态龙钟，步履蹒跚，跟不上现在云时代IT技术发展的步伐了。
然而SAP内部的ABAP和SAP云平台的工程师们，厉害之处就在于，通过双方的通力合作，使得某些“评论家”眼中的ABAP这部老爷车，就像《变异编年史》里添加了煤燃料的蒸汽机车一样，一飞冲天，重新跃入了云开发领域的天空。
SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment的诞生，我们固然应该感谢SAP云平台和ABAP的相关工作人员。然而，真正的画龙点睛之笔，在于这个环境的命名，就像Harald Kuck在SAP社区上发布的博客一样：Steampunk.
反正Jerry觉得这个命名非常形象，每次看到它就想到了《变异编年史》里那台锅炉里添加了大量煤燃烧之后，冒着浓浓黑烟缓缓升空的蒸汽机车(见下图《变异编年史》剧照)。
Jerry觉得，Steampunk这个命名背后的那份情怀，值得每位ABAP从业人员为它点个赞。
当然SAP其他产品的命名也是不乏亮点的。比如我们打开UI5相关的各种网页，都能在页面的各个位置看到一只醒目的凤凰-Phoenix. 没错，UI5项目最初的内部代号就是Phoenix.
Jerry没有在内网上查到UI5命名为Phoenix的原因，不过我个人的解读是，结合UI5诞生的那几年的背景来看，当时SAP Fiori UX尚未正式发布，SAP已有的产品，其UX无外乎ABAP BSP / Webdynpro / Silverlight UI几种，那么能不能把基于UI5的Fiori UX，理解成一个凤凰涅磐般崭新的UX解决方案？
Fiori又是另一个几乎每位SAP从业者都不陌生的命名。
如果我们在搜索引擎里以Fiori作为关键字搜索，能看到各式花的图案：
这丝毫不奇怪，因为Fiori就是意大利语里表示“花”的单词。因此很多基于Fiori UX的SAP系统，默认的登录页面的背景图案，都是一朵鲜花。
SAP Fiori UX一路发展到了现在的3.0版本，每个版本的设计细节可能会有差异，但核心设计理念始终基于以下五个原则：
- Role Based
- Adaptive
- Coherent
- Simple
- Delightful
其中第五个准则，Delightful——令人愉悦的，宜人的，这个特质不正是搜索引擎里以Fiori作为关键字，搜索出来的花朵给人的感受么？
Google推出的Kubernetes在容器编排领域早已是一个如雷贯耳的名字了。就像其logo的图案一样，Kubernetes来自古希腊语，意为“舵手”，“领航员”。Google想在容器编排领域充当领导者的意图，在这个霸气的命名里体现得淋漓尽致。
而基于Kubernetes打造而成的SAP Cloud Platform Extension Factory，项目代号为Kyma，或许是为了向Google的Kubernetes致敬，Kyma同样来源于古希腊语，意思是“Wave(浪花)”。
一个是舵手，一个是浪花，二者相得益彰，一切尽在不言中。
Cloud for Customer的从业者，如果调试过C4C前端的JavaScript代码，可能会注意到这些以Oberon开头的一系列js文件：
My colleague Yang Joey in one of SAP mobile application solutions his article: hybrid applications related to HTML5 application platform in + Cordova = also introduced, after the extension if the apk file C4C Android platform applications into a zip and unzip , you will find it is actually a web application packaged by Cordova, including oberon.zip - achieve C4C UI framework.
Jerry usual to Oberon were searching for a keyword, that its intention is one of the 27 satellites of Uranus: Ou Beilong.
Uranus 27 satellites, the five largest head according to distance from Uranus, from near to far are: Miranda (Miranda), Ariel (Ariel), Umbriel (Wu Mubo in Earl), Titania (Titania) and day Dione (Oubei Long).
Feelings ah.
Of course, there are many products SAP internal code did not like Steampunk such, issued out by the relevant colleagues on social media, so Jerry is not easy to pre-empt revealed in this article.
Dealt two contains two internal code of the picture, interested friends may wish to guess.
