THere's a precedent, yes, but I wouldn't call it a tradition.
A substantial period of time is part of the definition of the
word.

Wikipedia:

"A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group
or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with
origins in the past."

Merriam-Webster:

"the handing down of information, beliefs, or customs from one
generation to another."

I don't think C# has been around long enought to span multiple
generations of programmers.
