What should it be called? Now that I'm ready to add stuff to the language I need to know what it should be called. Vote now. Vota ahora. Stimme jetzt. Voix maintenant. Okay I'm done.

WASP sounds best IMO.

None appeals to me. WASP sounds stupid plus it means something. Realto sounds stupid as well and I don't know what it refers to. RavenScript sounds stupid. DinkC++ is just lame. Windemere language is too simple.

Why did you name the new engine windemere in the first place??

What is your suggestion then?

I can't think of a good one. But none of the above choices sound good. Why did you name windemere windemere? Couldn't you create a name for the scripting language on the same basis...

On the same basis, how about Beheaded Duck Language?

Thanks for your support, scratcher.

That's what I think dammit! I can't support your name suggestions if I think they suck.

You should think of more until you get the "ah, that sounds just right!" feeling... If you don't, then, um, err... Leave the language unnamed and see what people start calling it after it's in use?

I've decided to call the language 'Talon'. I don't know why, but it sounds just right.

Are you sure it's not one of those "cool" names that you like at first, but will later regret choosing?

D4rk, Iceman, Morpheus, imacrazyguy, tomsthebomb... that sort of thing.

"I like Talon, of course. 'cause.. well.. Tal.

Of course it's an inside joke from Tal that will make him laugh at its usage.

scratcher, shut up for two seconds.

merlin is busting the hell out of his ass trying to make this engine and editor. he asked a simple question, and put out some ideas he had. You critisized those and the current name of the engine, never gave any good feedback. So, here is the sum up of why you are indeed a dumbass.

1. You say the names suck,
2. You can't come up with any good names
3. You contributed jack to the topic, and just complained.

now, go STFU.
