[Proposal] Rename - Githubissues

amis92 commented 4 years ago

With #162 being a major rewrite, I thought it could be a good opportunity to mix it up a notch. We're considering breaking changes like #136 as well, which further "helps"

CodeGeneration.Roslyn as a name has the following properties:

✔ direct reference to code generation area/feature
✔ direct reference to Roslyn which is a core component
❌ quite generic and not very recognizable/memorable
❌ hard to search for on NuGet

I propose to rename this project to a more unique and maybe catchy one. 😏🦄

My (currently only one) proposal:

Compilatron - I've stumbled upon it playing Factorio (it's an in-campaign tutor-bot) and immediately thought about this project.
- it's not taken: GitHub, NuGet, Google (almost exclusively links to Factorio).

I'm very open for different proposals though. Please share yours!

PS. @aarnott I'd like to ask you for opinion in this matter. Do you think renaming this project is sensible? Discussable? And as an owner: given an interesting enough proposal, would you consider agreeing to that?

Hmmm... let me stew on it a little while.

Let's close on #100 before considering a rename here. @amis92 can you drive that to a conclusion?

I've really wanted to not comment there as long as possible... ;)

@AArnott see https://github.com/AArnott/CodeGeneration.Roslyn/issues/100#issuecomment-533647426

Since Roslyn is deep in prototyping Source Generators, I think a rename in current timeframe is completely off the table.
