+1 on the name. I read an article on branding once that said if consumers can mess up your name, they will, so be aware of that when you pick a name. The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) is universally known in the SF Bay Area as "East Bay Mud."
Goo, with its nod to "++", Google and "object oriented" would have been a great name, had they had a sense of humor. G would be good, with its homage to C and its predecessor B.

C++ was a leader in OO programming, but imho, it's gotten so stupefyingly complicated that it's may not be humanly possible to write decent programs with it. Go sounds like a pretty good reset, but at this point, I only know what I've read about it. It's name however, is horrible. Goo, Goog, or even G would have obviated much ambiguity. As it is, they may be stuck with Golang being the common name. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
