I wonder why the library is called TeaCup? The main language is called CoffeeScript. Why the library is not called like CoffeeMakeup? Continuing the trend.

This has evolved from several previous projects. The first was called coffecup, then drykup (mine), and now teacup. Teacup is much better than the previous incarnations, including mine.

@mark-hahn nailed it. CoffeeCup and CoffeeKup and DryKup are ancestors of Teacup. Teacup works differently enough from the Coffee*up family to warrant a different name. Teacup is short (it is imported often) and conveniently the same number of characters as DryKup. Tea is kinda like Coffee: :tea: ≅ :coffee:
