The name reminds me on the Rete algorithm, which is pretty cool, but unrelated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete_algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rete

- hodgesrm 8y agoI found the name confusing for exactly this reason. Rete is a big deal in rule-based systems.
- kjhughes 8y agoAgreed. It's such a unique name for a classic algorithm and is so thoroughly established in symbolic pattern matching for production systems that I'd seriously recommend against adopting it for any other purpose in CS.
