Sorry, I also must detract from the point of the post, but I feel there is merit in a small rant.
I made a crate, reminds me of the I made a gem days. I can't quite put my finger on it but it feels pretentious. And I even know what crates and gems are. I can't imagine how someone who doesn't know the lingo looks at it. It's a library! I wrote a library that does blah blah. No one ever says I made a jar or I laid an egg...
- DataCrayon 6y agoI hadn't considered this to be an issue - this is new to me. I would use "package" for Python as I do "crate" for Rust. It is just the terminology used on the website https://crates.io/ https://crates.io/. For me, it also indicates that it's available through the repository.
- potamic 6y agoNo, you were absolutely right calling it crates. I will be the first to say, when in Rome be a Roman. I was more ranting at the community for eschewing existing terminology and inventing new one. Sorry, didn't mean to direct it towards you.
