As a community we really couldn't come up with a better name, eh?

- carom 2y agoPydong is the blog name.
- giancarlostoro 2y agoPrePy could have worked... I guess lol maybe it was taken, cause Pydong... yeah.
- Tsche 2y agoI had actually considered PrePy and variations thereof for the magic_codec project (which is the example implementation showcased in that post), unfortunately all of these had been used by other projects before. Pydong is the name of the blog :)
- giancarlostoro 2y agoAh I did not realize this. Whoops. Thanks for clarifying!

- BeetleB 2y agoDong is a very common name in some countries.
- kuroguro 2y agoI think it's the name of Vietnam's currency.
- sitkack 2y agoAlso a common name as is Phuc. I had a partner that was a translation coordinator and they would play me this VM from one of the Vietnamese translators, every time he called he would say, “Hi this Phuc, ha ha that is funny to you, anyway …”
- lysace 2y agoNot a prude but this name just reeks of immaturity.
- Tsche 2y agoTo me it was always just a silly way of pronouncing "Python", especially in reference to terrible shenanigans like the ones the post talks about :P
- AlanYx 2y agoIsn’t it a play on words/reference to Pudong in China? It’s a nice central part of Shanghai.
- nomdep 2y ago* As you can see by opening the link, "pydong" is the name of the blog, not the Python preprocessor * I'm glad that we are not ants. Deciding everything "as a community" would be hell
