I would like to request renaming brocollifile.js to brocolli.js. I believe brocollifile.js is too long for a standard build file name. Gruntfile.js always bothered me. Compare it to pom.xml, build.xml, package.json and it feels out of place.

Broccoli is just one of those words that never looks spelt correctly, even when it is. Might I suggest lumber.js, considering it's all about trees.

  Broccoli looks like little trees. I wanted them to be called `Brocfile`s. Who's with me?

    I like the Broccoli name quite a bit (and the whole concept and implementation - great job Jo!), but I also prefer `Brocfile` to `Broccolifile`. Does that make me a broccoliphile against broccolifiles?

      I think you mean phobe

        Actually, both a broccoliphile and a broccolifilephobe.

I named it after the `Makefile` pattern, since it contains a build definition. We have `Rakefile`, `Cakefile`, `Gruntfile.js`, etc.

  How about "Brocfile.js"?

  It's a crummy pattern. broccoli.js FTW!

Gruntfile.js is the same length as package.json.
