Hi Max,

Great meeting you at rstudio::conf. So you did decide to ultimately call it parsnip? :-)

Cheers, Bohdan

That's the name for now (since I have nothing better). I think that there is a 64% chance that it will change in the next few months =]

So basically, I'm not sure.

I don't know, it's kind of starting to grow on me to be honest :-) but I understand you're currently taking applications (so I might email you separately with some suggestions, or you could start a little public voting poll on Github ;) )

大根, literally "big root"

😄

So the (reasonable) complaint is that names like these don't tell anyone what it actually does. There's plenty of counter examples (e.g. shiny, tensorflow, etc).

Really. A name is just a moniker. It could be anything. Get over it. Shiny is the best name for a software product ever, IMNSHO. So why worry?
