eyes widen...nods -- ah, amazing name!

  Not too late to rename it, hmm?

    blush -- my defense is that, I had to create a loot of gists on github to publish on medium, and it would take a while to change the name xD

I find humor in the choice of “risp” given the obvious alternative.

I am positive someone would complain and ruin the fun for the vast majority of us normal people.

  It would definitely hinder adoption in business.

    It's long been a dream of mine to make some software package that would be immensely useful and offer it for free with the catch being that the name is something childish and embarrassing and offensive. And then maybe offer a version of it with a nice, normal, appropriate name, but charge money for that version.

      BeautifulSoup! It even comes with more "enterprisey" class-name aliases, if you need them.

        What's wrong with "BeautifulSoup"? Is it a euphemism for another term with the initials "BS"?

      "fruity loops" had to rename to FL Studio

      “Google”

    I worked on a product sold in the financial industry, and we wanted to ship it with a built-in 3rd-party debugger. The execs complained, so we had to buy and repackage the debugger source as "debug utility".

Sorry, that name is reserved for the next step in the project - a parentheses-heavy input syntax for Rust, or more plausibly, for the simplified representation thereof known as MIR. Its biggest impact on the tech industry will actually be to significantly broaden the appeal of the Rust Evangelism Strike Force; indeed, it's expected that very few programs will ever be written in Lust, and that even the programs that are written in the language will be largely toy examples! But the overall effect has nevertheless been considered to be highly worthwhile, so the project will go forward.

  Just curious: Isn't MIR not a moving target with lots of changes going on? Perhaps a direct translation to Rust syntax would be a better choice.

    MIR is not stable, that’s correct.
