As far as I gather from that post the mascot has no name yet. Also as someone who natively speaks German, I don't see any problem with the name "Kotlin" and I never associated it with "Kot".
Suggesting that they use Google Translate to realize the additional meaning seems especially smug given the fact that they have a German translation of that post available.
- ksaj 4y agoI am referring to the mascot names people are suggesting, not Kotlin itself. Hence the future tense, and speaking of the mascot directly. No smugness - some of the suggestions translate to completely different things in other languages, and that is what I am pointing out. I see why my recounting of BorderWare's product made you think that. It's related, but not the same story.
- jabiko 4y agoOh, you are referring to the name suggestions in the comments below the blog post? Yeah. Something where "Kot" is a standalone word would definitely be an unfortunate name choice. I read your post that way that you argued that "Kotlin" is a bad naming choice. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
