On a substantive note, “as long as Emacs runs” is not quite accurate –
it’s until the interpreter process exits, which could happen because the
user kills it, it crashes, a piece of code which is executed tells it to
exit, ...

I think something should be said like “If the session name is empty, a
default name based on the block’s language will be used.” The session
name also becomes the interpreter process’s buffer name, and leaving
:session empty does not generate a buffer named “” (the empty string).
(It’s also a perverse but true fact that if you specify the same session
name for two blocks of different languages, they will both send their
code to the same interpreter process. But for two blocks in different
languages with an empty :session, they will each use their language’s
default name.)

Hello thanks for this.

Sorry, but my English needs to be improved, but my French is not even
better :-D
> "...it’s until the interpreter process exit..."
I will use your reformulation; I know just a little about the background
or the internals.
> “If the session name is empty, a default name based on the block’s
language will be used.”
Same as previous, I din't know that.
Thanks.
