Since Facebook rebranded as Meta, it’s worth reconsidering the language’s name. On the one hand, FB further popularizing the word is probably good for SEO. On the other, it might also mislead people into thinking that the language is in some way affiliated with the company. Or even worse, that I am cynically trying to tie my brand to Meta’s. I don’t want that association to exist, and I suspect Facebook’s lawyers wouldn’t either.
Ideas:
Meda (status quo)
Quill (I think this is already a language, but it might be targeting a sufficiently different market?)
Dusk (sounds cool, and maybe I can come up with some other post-hoc justifications later. Looks like someone already has an interpreted language with that name, but it looks abandoned so maybe I can just ignore it)
