  Not to be confused with the API framework for Python. The list probably goes on. It's bad naming.

    My initial reaction is the same when I see names like these, but... This happens everywhere in business/products/mom-and-pops even street names in different cities! Not sure why we’re so sensitive to software names, maybe hits close to home with naming being one of the tough problems along with caching etc (sure everyone knows how the saying goes).

      > Not sure why we’re so sensitive to software names For tools that install in a machine, you can have things be overridden if you install another tool of the same name. Binaries, libraries, or other assets.
    • zelphirkalt 7y ago
      Also with abstract things like frameworks the effect is worse, because people are not necessarily sure what you are talking about when mentioning the name. This is not the case usually with street names.
