While this might be obvious to you all, but today while reading history it occurred to me that the name DynamicLand is a combination of Alan Kay's "Personal Dynamic Media" and Seymour Papert's "Mathland".

I knew about the naming homage to Dynamic media, but I hadn't heard of Mathland

The opposite for me. I knew mathland and I was sure Bret Victor was inspired by it. But for the dynamic part of the name I thought it was merely a reference of what is realy going on, not necessary a "quote" of Alan Kay.
