FASM is overloaded: https://flatassembler.net/ https://flatassembler.net/ Since it's the same context I'd rather they didn't reuse the name.

  And another one: https://symbiflow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fasm/docs/specification.html https://symbiflow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fasm/docs/specifi...

  Agreed. 'Fshasm' would make the connection to F# clearer and avoid this confusion.

    Fshasm is good idea and available on nuget (https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Fshasm https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Fshasm). We lost the author's wordplay though. I opened an issue on GitHub to talk about the name. Come join us :) https://github.com/d-edge/fasm/issues/5 https://github.com/d-edge/fasm/issues/5

    Looks a bit too much like "fascism" for my taste.

      The Levenstein distance to either "Fasm" or "Fshasm" are the same, at three. I don't think that's too close.
      • raegis 5y ago
        And the distance between "Levenstein" and "Levenshtein" is only one, so is this an OK misspelling? :)

      As if you knew what that word means or as if there was any risk of confusion in this context.

  The name Fasm is a pun around the French word Phasme which translate to Phasmatodea in English and is coined with F(sharp) + asm (i.e assembly). Following this thread, I opened an issue about this: https://github.com/d-edge/fasm/issues/5 https://github.com/d-edge/fasm/issues/5

  Agreed. I prefer the other FASM too
