The name feels a bit problematic due to ISO/IEC 30170:2012 l which is an ISO standard for Ruby...

  problematic For whom? Somebody who gets obscure ISO standards confused with linting rules?

    I also had a similar first impression from reading the name of the project. I thought it was going to be related to standardizing Ruby implementations / the Ruby language itself.

      Same here, I thought it would be about a new version of ISO Ruby, or similar. But it's typical for naming projects like this that they try to convey a fake sense of authority.

        I could see that

    It does make itself sound like it's the standard, when it has no relation to either formal (ISO) or living standard (the body of language tests that make multiple compatible Ruby implementations possible). It's pretentious naming at its worst, IMHO. And yes, some people might have been looking for language standard and be mislead by this.

      A name like that makes me intentionally want to avoid it exactly because I don't want to reward misleading naming like that.

  an ISO standard that describes a version of ruby that was outdated and in the process of being obsoleted even at the time it was (finally) published. I don't think anyone really worries about that much.
