Before it's too late, I'd like to humbly suggest a name change. Even as a Blackadder fan, the name sounds terrible at a glance, especially for such a (potentially) high profile project. Naming isn't everything, of course, but it has more significance than we consciously realize. It can subconsciously impact decisions in favour of or against the project, as irrational as that is.
- carapace 7y agoI appreciate the sentiment but it's deliberate. I don't want to become high profile. The Python folks have made it pretty clear that they don't want continuity of Python 2 to "dilute the brand" of Python-as-Python-3, so I wanted to wave a big "Don't take this too seriously!" flag over this fork. (Also for the BBC, eh? It would be a little on the nose to call it "Blackadder". Or "Baldrick".)
