Maybe change name (away from LSIO) #110
Comments
Some more names. I'm aiming at single syllable "nonsense" words. Single syllable is good so it's fast to say, and easy to append with sub-crate names (like My favorites(In order of preference: My favorite first)
Other names I've considered, but don't really like
|
Possible alternative names (these are all from Vincent Immler! Thanks Vincent!):
|
How about |
Also I guess it makes sense as a method/tool for delivering things, as in a grain hopper etc. – looks like |
Oooh, that's a nice idea! Thanks so much for the suggestion! I must admit that I'm trying to move away from names with "IO" in them, because - ultimately - I'm expecting this project to be just as much about efficiently and quickly computing multi-dimensional arrays as it's about IO! Also - unfortunately - "Hopper" is the name of Nvidia's previous-generation GPU architecture! |
I always had the concern as well with My two pence: short and snappy takes precedence. So I'm not a completely useless armchair commenter here's a couple more ideas, although I don't think they're better than any of yours already:
Loving following the work so far Jack! (Also, to think all this time I thought Fender guitars was spelt with an "er"...! 😉) |
Thanks @devsjc - these are great comments and suggestions! Thank you for flagging up "LinuxServer.io". I agree: that's so similar that I think I definitely do need to change the name! |
After "sleeping on it" over the weekend, I think I'm going to opt for If you have better suggestions, or if you can see a fatal flaw in the name |
Random thought, looks like you've resolved this thread, but I'll put here anyway – how about
|
Or another very different one – The metaphor is in there somewhere. |
Ooh, nice suggestions!
There is an existing crate called If we can think of a way to link Or a cheesy backronym?! |
Yeah I didn't know what it meant for an embarrassing amount of time too 😂 if your googling hasn't already pointed this out, I'm pretty sure it's an elision/stands for its two main properties, "corrosion resistance" and "tensile strength"... It is a structural material, often in beams, which simplistically are 1-dimensional (or at least single axis), so in a multidimensional way of putting stuff together, (up to 3 at least) it stacks up... 👍 haha |
In the last few days, several people have commented how much the like the name "light speed IO". I'm not sure what's best to do with the name: leave it as is, or change it! |
So... we probably do need to move away from Maybe we can keep "light speed" in the name? Some options:
|
Problems with the name "light speed IO":
lsio
is ambiguous (isl
a lowercaseL
, or the digit 'one', or an uppercaseI
)?!lsio_io
is a bit ugly.None of these problems are deal-breakers. So maybe I should just stick with LSIO.
Thoughts about a better name
Chunker
has the right meaning, but it's an ugly word, and sounds like 1990's slang for throwing up!glide
(because of the idea of efficiently using the resources available) but glide is already a thing: https://crates.io/crates/glideAny thoughts?
