Package name "CLaSH" is a disaster to type #76

The «two caps — small letter — two caps» is so unusual pattern, so I just cannot type it automatically, I need to fix my attention to that ridiculous casing. What's wrong with plain «Clash»?

Well, it all started with "CAES Language for Synchronous Hardware", CLaSH, as the name for the language/compiler. I never gave it much thought when I made the root-name of the module structure the same name as the name of the language/compiler.

I'd really appreciate changing the top level module to Clash. I know it's an unwieldy change, but better now than later, and it can be done in a backwards compatible way.

christiaanb commented 8 years ago

I'm inclined to do this for the clash 1.0 release, although I can be convinced to do it for the upcoming clash-0.7 release if people really want it.

I never had a problem with this, but now every time I type CLaSH I think "Oh, I'm experiencing issue #76".

Also, why is the lambda lowercase if it's standing for "Language"?

christiaanb commented 7 years ago

because the uppercase lambda isn't as cool
