- ufo 6y agoI 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.
- vidarh 6y agoSame 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.
- imwillofficial 6y agoI could see that
- p_l 6y agoIt 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.
- vidarh 6y agoA name like that makes me intentionally want to avoid it exactly because I don't want to reward misleading naming like that.
