- conradk 11y agoFirst commit for Redox was April 20th 2015. First commit for Redux (the JS library, if that's what you're talking about) was May 30th 2015.
- 746F7475 11y agoIf no one knows about your project it's name doesn't matter. Bring to mind the old MikeRoweSoft vs. Microsoft thing.
- pjc50 11y agoPresumably named after the redox reaction that causes iron to rust.
- iagooar 11y agoThe name is quite clever, actually.
- Sharlin 11y agoYes indeed. * There's the Unixy "x" suffix * Iron turning to rust is a redox reaction * Redo means "do again (differently)" * Redox is an almost-homophone with redux meaning "revived"
- hamburglar 11y agoPlus the "iron" / "bare metal" imagery for running directly on hardware as opposed to on top of some other layer. Redox puts rust on metal.
- Zecc 11y agoAm I the only one reminded of a certain energy drink?
- ape4 11y agoNot that it matters... Apparently rust-lang is named after the rust fungus not the chemical reaction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_%28programming_language%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_%28programming_language%2...
- kibwen 11y agoThat hasn't stopped anyone from naming tons of Rust libraries after elements and chemistry terms, just like the true etymology of "Python" hasn't stopped people from naming things after snakes. :P
- systems 11y agosound a lot like redo x nobody likes to redo things .. or x'es would you ever redo your x
- khattam 11y agoYes... that's what x'es are for.
