What a terrible name.
Edit: Obvious sexual connotation to my ears. If I told a coworker "Just go to Nuttx's website" I am 100% sure I'd have to explain it was SFW.
- kbumsik 8y agoIt is just the auther's surname (Nutt) + X. What's the issue?
- analognoise 8y agoTo nut is to blow a load. Maybe it's only slang in California?
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoNo, that’s not only slang in California. We all know why you think it’s a terrible name. Even if someone agrees, it just has no bearing on the real conversation here.
- analognoise 8y ago"Naming things" is jokingly referred to as the hardest part of computer science. I remember a TON of articles written about Go, and how the name would impact search ratings, etc - and about how a modern language could never be called "C" because it wasn't "Googleable". Naming things is definitely a "thing" we all talk about, constantly.
- Lowkeyloki 8y agoTHANK YOU! (I upvoted.) I was going to post how I can't wait to NuttX all over my embedded devices if no one had commented on this yet. Consequences to my fake internet points be damned.
