There are currently to contenders

Please let me know what you guys prefer, and I will go ahead and change the name of the library as well as the package

mdedetrich commented 7 years ago

I am personally in preference of scajson, because the package it works nicer with the complete package name (i.e. scajson.ast) compared to scajast.ast

jvican commented 7 years ago

+1 for scalajson!

ktoso commented 7 years ago

-1 for scajast, it dies not explain that it's json. It also invokes thinking about "hmm, any ast? java ast? wat?"

+1 for scalajson, boring name, but fitting and works well with scalajson.ast

-0.5 for scajson as it seems pretty confusing to how to pronounce it. Sounds a bit like doing a tatoo with a funny name when you're 12 and when you're 30 regretting it that you picked something "that sounded cool back then" ;-)

Hope this helps!

The objection mentioned above to scajast is sensible.

It's too bad that we couldn't use scala.json because I think that would be perfection. But I, too, can get behind scalajson.

mdedetrich commented 7 years ago

Okay I think that scalajson looks like a good fit. I too would have really liked scala.json but looks like that isn't going to happen

Ichoran commented 7 years ago

+2 for scala.json but failing that, +1 for scalajson, +0 for scajson and -1 for scajast.

mdedetrich commented 7 years ago

Okay, I am going to rename it to scalajson

jvican commented 7 years ago

By the way, for those voting for scala.json, this is the reason why we eventually decided not to use the Scala namespace.
