Chicken and Stalin are the names of two computer programming languages

[Knajjd]

Chicken was so called because it was the first word that popped into the programmers mind.

Stalin is a joke name: "Stalin brutally optimizes."

STAtic Language ImplementatioN. The compiler is very aggressive in making the code run faster so the programmer called it Stalin.

How did Stalin "optimize"

How did Stalin "optimize"

It's the way Stalin's optimizer is so aggressive in optimizing the code. It's the aggression part and not the optimization part that is relevant. Stalin was aggressive.
