Why does the readme use Boom and Bloom interchangeably? Is it just a typo that for some reason is randomly scattered throughout the document (and in the repo name itself)? Or is there meant to be a difference? I don't see anywhere that the difference is explained, if it's intentional.
- lstamour 12y agoLooks consistently used to me. The project is a collection of stream-optimized bloom filters and the project or its filters, as a whole, are referred to as "Boom Filters" in comparison to the "Classic Bloom Filters" referenced in the paragraph directly above. Basically, use "bloom" except when referring to this exact source code or library name. See also: references section at the bottom of the readme for background on bloom filters, examples, etc.
