Come on, they're basically just tongue-in-cheek names to evoke a chuckle or two.
'HardonCollider' collision system, 'Lube' networking library etc, I can hardly see anyone being offended unless they _really_ want to be.
Apart from that I fully agree, despite doing lots of coding in Python, I, just like the author find löve a better choice than pygame for quickly developing/prototyping games, YMMV and all that.

- limmeau 14y agoWhen I was 8, I insisted on buying a little book containing a collection of toilet stall graffiti sayings. I didn't get half of them, yet merrily recited them. And look where I am now, happily employed software developer with >=1000 karma. So I wouldn't worry too much.
- eropple 14y ago"Offended" may be too harsh a word, but "annoyed" would certainly apply to me and "uncomfortable" to a number of professional software developers I know. I don't know many shrinking violets, but that doesn't mean you want to be hit over the head with (stupid) sexual metaphors when you're working just because the library developers are incapable of reining in childishness. Like, by itself, not a gamebreaker or anything (for me that would be a weakly typed language--though I've encouraged my little brother to play with Moai, another Lua environment, in the past), but given the choice I'd probably go with tools with a culture that encourages a bit better judgment.
