Brand Identity: Hoop

[digitalextremist]

Without interrupting the great work here, I propose this brand identity for the resulting polished gem:

• https://github.com/abstractive/hoop
• https://rubygems.org/gems/hoop

I explained more on Slack as to why:

I see Hoop as the basic underlying capacity, like what you did with 0MQ before, both in the noun and verb sense:

• Noun: circular strip used for holding together
• Noun: circular figure or object
• Noun: circle of series of circles used to expand a fabric
• Noun: the goal of basketball, fuzzy description of an IPC in neanderthal
• Verb: To bind fast

I would be happy to try and absorb the use of other libraries we have in common and bring them this direction, since this annihilates their purpose, and makes a more coherent value proposition. And then I would implement the polished foundation as a framework in #3:

• https://github.com/abstractive/vertices
• https://rubygems.org/gems/vertices

I know this may seem far-range, as we come to the first solar-year anniversary of the commits to proto-rina and I'm talking about a foundation and framework now, but I think this target and "mythological root system" will help drive a lot of what I see in the journal entries.

To me this work is fundamental to the shift in both Computer Science and Information Technology ahead.

Like I said, I don't see this as replacing the work happening here or taking it over. It's more like the "non-prototype" presentation, which itself will be a prototype at first also, but expect to be production-ready.

I am holding back from being overly excited ( for me ) but I really like the simplicity and what the name communicates, since the overall complexity concealed in the resulting work is confoundingly intense.
