  Technically the toy is called matryoshka, babushka is Russian for grandmother.

    I think they meant it. As in, a grandmother who is full of energy and can do a dozen things before anybody is ever awake. Always coming to the rescue of her grandchildren.

      They didn't: > It’s true, babushka means “grandmother” in Russian. The thing is, here in Australia, “babushka doll” is the colloquial term for Russian nesting dolls. Deps are intended to be small, tidy chunks of code, nested within each other - hence the name. Last paragraph: http://babushka.me/overview http://babushka.me/overview
