When I first read the title, I thought it was about some frameworks, platforms or the like. I'm doomed.


There's some trouble to be found with project naming.

I once searched for documentation on Facebook's programming language Hack.

"hack facebook" was a sub-optimal search.

I later looked for LESS rules writter for Twitter's Pants build tool.

The results for "pants less" were...interesting.


I'm constantly confused and misled (my own fault) by a variety of project names. They're often either foods, or physics. "Delicious Snickers running Event Horizon..." that kind of thing.


That's how you tell if a project was named before or after lunch.


Ditto for Go. Despite everyone saying to call it 'Go', it's much easier to find Go-related resources via 'GoLang' than using 'Go'.


Likewise for Play (Java/Scala web framework). Searching for "Play Framework" is a must.


arf!
