Maybe this just means engineers shouldn't name things! :) Then again marketing people would have made choices like RadPython, RubyGrunge, and CFlowerPower...

- M2Ys4U 12y agoWell there are four hard problems in computer science: 1. Naming things 2. Cache coherence 3. Off-by-one errors.
- byuu 12y agoYep, I gave up on naming things. I tried to use really creative names as is common in the Linux world (Ristretto, Amarok, Brasero, Thunar, etc), but it drove me up the wall (I once named a project "xkas", ugh.) It's so hard to find a name that's easy to pronounce, sounds good on the tongue, and is not already used a million times. Nobody's ever going to find them through Google, but oh well. Nobody was going to use them anyway. May as well name them the way I like, right? ;)
