- megalodon 11y agoYou're right, that's kind of why I named the bash command 'proto' instead of 'cproto', but maybe that's not enough. Any suggestions? I'll change it later today.
- gnoway 11y agoI should step back some from it being a bad name... It's actually a great name, it just conflicts with an in-use library that does substantially the same thing for another platform. Is there a convention where the 'node-' prefix is off-limits for any reason? I don't know if it's really any better but if this were 'node-cproto' I wouldn't have commented. The other option would be to do some word-play name like 'domesticator'.
- duaneb 11y agoI would recommend against using a generic greek prefix for a name of a very specific tool.
