Even worse, JAWS is a well-known movie with a 49 year history. I strongly believe the screen reader and the WASM compiler both knew this at the time, quite damn

I am painfully aware the project will never be the first hit in Google by just typing it's name lol Btw, I am very bad at naming, I chose the name cause it has most of the letters that "JS-WASM" has (or all of them if you consider W is just inverted M)

  Don't even think about it :) I'm just teasing the person I'm replying to, its a way of saying "yeah I don't think that name collision is significant" that A) assumes they desire conversation, so it's okay to reply B) engages without asserting C) expresses disagreement in a jovial matter, rather than confrontational

  JAWSM might be a more unique alternative if you're looking for any. Anyway, it's a cool project. Thanks for sharing!

Apples and peaches. Jaws the movie is another section, the movie section. Jaws and JAWS are both in the software section. There's the potential for conflicted naming. Sorry to be emotionless here, but at least you could respect the fact that there is a popular software with the same name, without making jokes about it.

  There is no "software section" anymore, alas :( RIP Computer City. FWIW, for the audience, both you and I know the game here is "can we define a broad enough, yet narrow enough, category that someone could confuse the screenreader with the WASM compiler, such that it can be claimed to be 'emotionless' to say there's a significant collision and the WASM compiler needs a rename." First, there's certainly room for conversation, emotionless doesn't mean provably unambiguously correct and everyone else needs to agree and not reply. :) Second, it's clear you do have emotions, ex. see how you're policing whether its okay to "joke", where "joke" is me going to great lengths to indirectly indicate the possibility this is less than 100% unambiguously correct in as non-personal a way as possible. I did that because the initial curt, policing, tone indicated strongly that you would react poorly to any indication this was anything other than unambiguous. And here we are.

  You can imagine why naming a software "Mission Control" in dev ops is so infuriating for people who actually work in actual space or satellite mission control.

We're gonna need a bigger namespace.
