I have no clue what Puma is in this context, but I really think people should do a quick search before they pick names, particularly with a number, and especially when a name and a number have a horrible history: https://www.theregister.com/2017/04/11/intel_puma_6_arris/ https://www.theregister.com/2017/04/11/intel_puma_6_arris/ It also wouldn't hurt if they main page for a project had just a wee bit more information about what it actually is and what it actually does.

> I have no clue what Puma is in this context, but I really think people should do a quick search before they pick names To be fair Puma has been out and named for over 10 years. It's one of the most popular app servers for Ruby. The HN post links to the 6.0 upgrade guide, the repo's readme file goes into more detail on what it is on the first line: Puma is a simple, fast, multi-threaded, and highly parallel HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby/Rack applications.
