When I first came to Elixir & Erlang, their naming convention gave me no trouble at all. Now of course, I haven't done much for decades with languages that would have given me the mental model that would bias me to automatically be thinking of the things you name. I do know that there are certain well-worn development environments where you might gain such a bias. Remember that Erlang, too, and some of these technologies, names, and conventions, are pretty old and that they may not have been as evocative then as they might be today with some of their conventions. "Process" almost certainly would have been confusing to the neophyte, but appropriately descriptive nonetheless, but "Gen" for Generic.... eh. Anyway I guess the point is that I have to look inward to see if something like this rubbing me the wrong way is the substandard choice of the project I'm diving into, or if it's me bringing unwarranted biases and assumptions to the table.
