I don't like this new trend of giving libraries cute names and not giving a reader any idea about what your library does. I read the blog post and README file on github and still don't know what Chimney does.
- mapleoin 14y agoIt burns logs.
- bazzargh 14y agoNo, it removes console.log statements; really not at all obvious without reading the code. The metonymy of referring to console.log as the log when it's the thing that creates the log doesn't help at all.
- nicholassmith 14y agoYou throw logs on the fire, the fire burns. It's a toy, the more logs you give it, the more the ASCII fire burns.
- eulo 14y agoIf you're a javascript dev it's pretty obvious from the README that it removes console.log statements from .js files.
- saurik 14y agoLike "bison", or "libiberty"? I fail to see how this is a "new trend". (edit:) Oh, you are also complaining about the readme being obtuse; yeah, I agree with that problem: documentation other than "a short readme in markdown" used to be much more valued. :(
- nsxwolf 14y agoI actually find this submission downright offensive. I clicked in good faith and was presented with no content.
- mrspeaker 14y agoI was thinking that you were over-reacting and just not getting the joke. But that's because I thought it was just a joke repo that console.logged things until your CPU spiked and warmed up your computer thereby "keeping you warm". Perhaps being a tiny bit less cute could help after all.
