Search engines already deal just fine with context. Just type in “cpp language” or “cpp html,” respectively.
I think everyone keeps making name collisions to be a much bigger deal than they are in reality.
- maccard 10y agoIf it was a minor collision, sure. But CPP is one of the most used programming languages on the planet. I suppose you think we should create standards for C++ and call them JS or RB or py, for short?
- deno 10y agoIf you can always find what you’re looking for for any non-trivial (2 keywords or more) search terms, how is it not a minor collision? “CPP” is not even the name of the language—it’s the file extension. EDIT: Mostly I’m just annoyed that those useless off-topics about naming keep crowding out actual discussion.
- mcbits 10y agocpp html: http://imgur.com/gV3dMI9 http://imgur.com/gV3dMI9 It's going to take significant momentum to displace "CPP" in the appropriate computing contexts.
- deno 10y agoYeah but if you search for “cpp amp” it’s already mid-page, despite there being a C++ project with the same name. The page has hardly any backlinks yet. Anyway if discoverability is an issue they can always give it a catchy marketing name (Project Swift Gazelle) later. CPP is the appropriate name for the proposal, given the relevant context.
