- wrinkl3 8y agoKinda like a lot of Java projects have a "J" in their name (e.g. Jetty, Jersey, Jackson) and most JavaScript frameworks' names end with ".js". Naming conventions are catchy.
- vijaybritto 8y agoI'm a frontend developer and only now I realised this.
- explodingcamera 8y agoIts pretty hard time find a good name for a project and go is a really good prefix for projects i guess, it can even add meaning like in this project.
- michaelcampbell 8y agoA peeve of mine for sure. Python does it, go does it, java does it some extent. I'm just thankful that as a unix person, we don't have "cmv", "ls4j", or "pyrm".

- jwcrux 8y agoGuilty as charged :) in this case, I thought it made for a nice name, giving a nod to the old card game “Go Fish”.
- vijaybritto 8y agoIts cool. I just realised that during pre npm era almost all js libraries had js in their names. So its pretty common I see.
