How? Только != Тока

  Given that the tagline for the project is "Fusion Reactor for Rust," I'd guess that the project's name is designed to read to English speakers as "Tokamak" while maintaining a "Russian flavor." EDIT: Not being a Russian speaker, I completely misunderstood this comment -- I apologize for my blithe ignorance.

    Rust is iron oxide. The project namers weren't thinking about astrophysics. If you fuse iron, you wind up with less energy than you had before.

      The oxygen is perfectly fusible, at least if you're a star. Less so in foreseeable tokamak designs. Not to mention the iron hydroxide in rust.

  "Тока" is a misspelling of "только" which you frequently encounter because in fast speech, that "ль" doesn't get pronounced. Sometimes, it's deliberate; the writer is going for the effect of transcribing colloquial speech - like in English, you might write "innit" instead of "isn't it" to render a casual spoken conversation. And sometimes, it's a sign of a illiteracy - like in English, when people write "should of" instead of "should have" because it sounds the same and they don't know any better.

    I agree it sounds similar, I was just pointing out that it's likely a reference to the plasma device and not a comment on Mac computers.
