I dislike this trend of common words being used for tools

It started with Go, then Rust, then Zed. Whatever happened to giving a unique name like Hadoop?

Java and Ruby were created in 1995.

Lua in 1993.

Python in 1991.

C in 1972.

Lisp in 1960.

  • Big difference in using a genric name 45yrs ago vs using generic name post 2020

    • So the "trend* is that everyone didn't figure out the arbitrary deadline you came up with on when everyone should stop using regular words?
