I like it, at least from the little that I read about it. The name describes the core of what it is: differentiate programs, in order to figure out how changes the the program affect the output and using that for optimization purposes. Do we really need to invent obscure, new names for everything just so that it sounds catchy?
- tomdre 9y agoCouldn't agree more. A technique should be judged by its usefulness. Not by its catchiness.
- pasquinelli 9y agoto be fair though, the subject is a judgement of a technique's name, not a judgement of the technique itself.
- wastewaste 9y agonot to forget, naming is one of the harder problems considered in programming.
