I honestly love the kooky names you find with most open source stuff. I personally hate it when I get mired too deeply with an enterprise-y company where everything's name is an unmemorable three-letter acronym for some bull shit name that does not mean anything even when it's written out.

- steveklabnik 13y agoCucumber _does_ mean something: it's about outside-in testing. Cucumbers have a skin on the outside and juicy stuff on the inside. You may argue that that is silly, but there is some sort of reason. (None for Sinatra, though. "He's so classy he deserves a web framework written after him.")
