Confusing name as Gremlin is a well known graph traversal language that has existed for years. It's not always easy finding documentation for Gremlin as search results are often polluted by unrelated stuff... this will make things harder still.
- austingunter 7y agoHey there, all of Gremlin's docs can be found at gremlin.com/docs
- randomidiot666 7y agoThis project has a more apt usage of the name.
- appleflaxen 7y agonaming isn't only based on how clever the name is; it's also based on primacy, because it creates confusion for the end user.
- randomidiot666 7y ago"Gremlin" is way too perfect for this type of application. The graph traversal API should not have wasted this name.
- hiergiltdiestfu 7y agoI came to the comments to post a similar thing. Was utterly confused how "graph db" and "chaos engineering" go together. Can't you add a distinguishing prefix, like Chaos Gremlin or something like that? I'll start using "Apache Gremlin" for the traversal lang, but that only works if your Gremlin gets a prefix, too.
- psds2 7y agoPerhaps languanges should identify themselves with a suffix, like golang.

- perlgeek 7y agoCould've called it Kremlin, that one is also trying to spread chaos and confusion...
