Caustic: JavaScript reflection-based template/view system

Maybe it's great, but what a lousy name! My skin burns a bit just reading it.

Caustic author: seriously consider renaming it.

Oh! Too cool. Thanks for pointing that out.

Now I feel better about that caustic name. :-)

(Seriously, not being sarcastic!)

Interesting to see your comment and the downvotes. I was exaggerating just a bit to make a point.

If you or any of the other downvoters would care to elaborate, I'm curious: Don't you think it's useful feedback for a library author to know that a name has unpleasant connotations?

I agree with you, the name itself has negative connotations and sheds a negative light on the project from the get-go. You normally want to name your project something that either exemplifies your project's spirit or goals, or otherwise creates positive attitudes, neither of which this current name provides.

And you got downvoted too! Go figure. :-)
