that project's choice of name, web2py, drives me apeshit. i much preferred it when it was called gluon.
web2py both (a) sounds way way too much like web.py, which predated it, and (b) it sounds like it's a successor to it -- which it is not, and (c) sounds like it's a conversion tool of some kind (following the whole "foo2bar" pattern in program naming).
Whereas 'gluon': some small thing which binds the universe together. And it has personality!
- danenania 16y agoYeah, I also prefer gluon. It had to be changed due to a copyright issue from what I gather. That said, I could give a hoot what a framework is named if I get work done quickly with it :)
