This is unintentional given the history of the name of the project explained in another comment on this page, but "mal" in French means "evil", tying into the famous aphorism.
- rbonvall 5y agoIn Spanish it means "badly", which is an encouraging goal to give the project a try :)
- andredz 5y agoIn Spanish it also means evil. Example: No seas vencido por el mal, sino vence con el bien el mal. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
- kanaka 5y agoI wouldn't say it was entirely unintentional :-). I was definitely aware that "mal" could mean "evil" when I named it. It was a bit more apropos when mal only had a single implementation in GNU Make macro language.
- pygy_ 5y agoHehe :-)
