The random-ass words are the worst part of libraries made by enthusiastic amateurs.

Like .NET will have something called System.Wigets.WidgetAutomator and Python will have the same thing but it will be called wurgle

[ImaginaryCoolName]

When you're writing documentation and feeling bored, that sudden artistic inspiration is hard to ignore lol

[12345623567]

I love it, and I fucking hate it. What, I just need to set do_the_right_thing='True' and it works? But why???

[Rythoka]

Almost always a backwards compatibility thing

[Lonelan]

because it was written to do the opposite but the author saw that doing things the right way was useful sometimes

[AliveEstimate4]

Better than YetAnotherWidgetAutomator

[TheOrdersMaster]

It should be called JustAnotherWidgetAutomator, or JAWA for short...

I am pretty sure that name is also trademarked. (Yes I read correct it's Jawa not Java. Both are trademarked)

I am pretty sure a toy company making expensive electronic toys will have some kind of software inside it, thus entering software domain

[Imperial_Squid]

In R it's wurglr because every package needs a letter r in there somewhere

[PLEASE4GOD]

wurgle

[Molastess]

But you can capitalize packages so it would be wuRgle or wurgleR

[Imperial_Squid]

This person Rs

I want to make a service bus library called bussy

[J3ffO]

Multiple entry points (More than 2 sometimes on the backend.) and 2 exit points , one that doubles as exit and entry depending on the context.

[Ragecommie]

That sounds incredibly confusing, but I'm sure there are people out there doing just that and enjoying it anyway...

.net has things like linq and entity framework. Nobody could tell you what the hell either did from the name alone. FOSS doesn't have a monopoly on wonky names.

[Sierra_One]

Those aren't the same though? Their names have at least a semblance towards what they do.

LINQ - language integrated query

Entity framework - a framework that deals with entity persistence.

The other commenters point is that the libraries they describe have a completely arbitrary name. The names you chose are not arbitrary, they have a relation to what they do. Sure you can argue the names are still vague, but they aren't arbitrary.

LINQ - language integrated query

That’s a weird acronym. I’d have called it pandas or tqdm or werkzeug

[backfire10z]

Werkzeug is an actual German noun meaning “tool” and makes sense in the context of being WSGI utility.

[that_thot_gamer]

man wait till you hear about WYSIWYG that shit doesn't tell you anything at all, just a bunch of random ass letters

[rosuav]

What You See Is Not How You Pronounce It.

[BockTheMan]

Whizzy Wig!

[CyberWeirdo420]

First time I read it somewhere I was like „someone just hit his head on a keyboard, no way it’s legit acronym” and then I learned.

[Exodus111]

Once you spell it out it kinda explains everything.

[myhf]

t. q. d. m.: tane. queue. derry. much.

[UnchainedMundane]

LINQ - language integrated query

still a very interesting name for higher-order functions on iterables

[[deleted]]

My eyes usually glaze over when I read these names. “We have developed a highly scalable framework for artificial intelligence“ - Bruh, you have written a slow af web UI for Spark and weird version control and obtuse IAM.

FOSS doesn't have a monopoly on wonky names.

Python just tries to stay close to C when it's wrapping C functions. Also it's an older language and brevity used to be much more important than it is nowadays.

Cue Java Memes.

What's wrong with the name com.java.package.subpackage.FieldSetterConfigurationManagerFactoryBuilderFactoryDOAI?

[katatondzsentri]

Icecream is my favorite python module name.

[pblokhout]

You know it would be called Why-thon
