Do you have any idea for a name that sounds cool, and can be immediately associated with Ruby and Lisp ? :-)tawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16972845140253292628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27488238.post-1154144044852089992006-07-29T05:34:00.000+02:002006-07-29T05:34:00.000+02:00Okay, this isn't a program, but a suggestion. I t...Okay, this isn't a program, but a suggestion. I think RLisp will have a brighter future with a name like LISPeR. It is pronounceable, and based on a real word (i.e., something you'd find in natural language conversation). These things are in keeping with the spirit of Ruby on Rails at least, and I think Ruby as well.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, it's my observation that names make a big difference in how well languages do. Perl and Java and Ruby all have iconic, memorable names. APL didn't. Ada didn't so much. Not that this is the definitive characteristic, but it seems to help a lot. Smalltalk has a cool name but it seems to be slightly derogatory. Would all the hype about Java have been successful if it didn't have the cool name?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, since this is still pretty new, it's still a pretty good time to make name adjustments. (I hope I've made a good case for it.)<BR/><BR/>As for the capitalization I've suggested, Lisp used to be spelled LISP, and capitalizing all but the 'e' seems appropriate since it's mostly to connect the LISP to the R and make it into a real word.<BR/><BR/>In fact, if you take my suggestion, I'll give YOU a free beer.
