Mako is also a Python templating library. I have used Mako primarily since it was what reddit used to use back in 2016. Not sure if reddit still uses it.

As a side note, I suspect that every pronounceable 4-letter combination has been used as a product name by now at least once. Some unpronounceables must have been used up, too. It might be fun to generate them and search for them, to test this hypothesis.

  We know for a fact, that within the constraint of 12 pitches, it is unlikely you will write an original melody [0]. [0]: https://archive.org/download/allthemusicllc-datasets https://archive.org/download/allthemusicllc-datasets [1]: http://allthemusic.info/ http://allthemusic.info/

The Shortfin Mako is the fastest shark. The Sailfish (and maybe Black Marlin depending on who you believe) is faster.

  It's also just a common Japanese girl's name. Needs a comparison to Vite/esbuild though. The docs only mention Webpack, but idk who's using Webpack on new projects in 2025. There's a benchmark that includes Vite on the homepage, but that's not gonna be enough to get me to switch to a newcomer with a smaller community unless there's some usability difference too. The CSS support also needs a comparison to LightningCSS (which Vite also supports and has some advantages over esbuild), especially when it comes to bleeding-edge features like view transitions and nesting.

  I think projects with short names need suffixes in order to not be confused with others that most likely share the name, these make sense and tell you exactly what they are.
