I think the name isn't a great choice, given the already established Turbo ecosystem for Rails/Hotwire. Perhaps Rails can create a gem that makes migrating from one version to the next easier, a Version Compatibility Enhancement Library, calling it VerCEL for short.

Naming is hard, it's hard to expect everyone to be aware of all ecosystems' names and trends to choose something non-conflicting

  Sure, though I think I'd at least Google "javascript {my cool name}" and see what comes up (in this case, the top result is Hotwire)

The "original" Turbo is from Turbo Pascal. There still is the ancient Delphi library/component collection of Turbo Pack around: https://github.com/turbopack https://github.com/turbopack

When I built the Q Platform originally, I put so much work into it, but showing it to people I mostly got one piece of feedback without them even looking: "it's called Q... and there is a library for promises called Q that is way more popular. Rename yours." I tried to explain that it was a completely different field, and that this was a web development framework. And that we had started ours way before this library for promises. But people told me I was foolish, and refused to look at it. I think it was here on HN somewhere around 2012 or so. Well, promises are now native in browsers and no one remembers the Q library. But I did rename our library to "Qbix". I wish though that I hadn't listened to them... things come and go, just do name it what you like!
