Name this lisp! #8

Closed Ismael-VC closed 6 years ago

Ismael-VC commented 8 years ago

We should really think in a name it would be useful so we can call it with scripts and such, ie

$ julisp foo.jlisp arg1 arg3

Or something like that!

cc: @swadey @MichaelHatherly I could organize a poll if that is ok, what do you think?

swadey commented 8 years ago

I maintain that this is michael's decision :)

MichaelHatherly commented 8 years ago

What kind of name are we wanting? Something "unsurprising" like @Ismael-VC's julisp, or maybe jisp. Or perhaps something a bit more obscure / creative?

:+1: obscure creative! :smile: look at pixie and hy, specially hy, I like they word play :sparkles: :

It isn't named after either Python nor Lisp, also Pixie, my suggestions are pretty unsurprising as Michael points out, I'll think in some other names.

a couple of constraints:

  1. we can rename LispREPL.jl without issue, but the name of this package probably can't change at least not easily.
  2. probably should be searchable
