Re-name repo? #13

Open TobiasNx opened 3 years ago

I find it confusing that this repo is named "metafacture-flux" since this repo is not about the flux itself but a "Xtext-based tool support for the Metafacture Flux language".

Is renaming an option?

fsteeg commented 3 years ago

The main problem preventing a consistent naming here is that the Fix and Flux languages are implemented differently (Flux with plain ANTLR in metafacture-core, Fix with Xtext and in a repo of its own). I seem to recall that we discussed this somewhere before, but I couldn't find it. I think the gist is that the metafacture-flux and metafacture-fix repos are both very similar and different. They have the same structure and work in the same way, so I think the current naming makes sense. To get actual consistency, we'd have to either extract the Flux implementation from metafacture-core into metafacture-flux (both languages implemented in their own repos), or from metafacture-fix into metafacture-core (making both repos tool support only).

Should we rename it metafacture-flux-language-support

fsteeg commented 1 year ago

Since this is related to the move of fix to core and from Xtext to ANTLR, I think we should look into renaming/moving this repo after those moves.
