Alan, thanks for your well thought out suggestion, but for simplicity's
sake I'll go with Ickle.
That involves far less explaining, just in case anyone asks me what the
name means :) Occam wins again!
Wait a second.. Occam could have been a pretty good option too ...
Cheers!

Hi All,
I joined this mailing list few weeks back. I am not sure about the new
query language work, but I would like to suggest one more name option
- *Cantor* -**In the spirit of Georg
Cantor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Cantor) who put forward
the idea of infinite.
Thanks,

Hi all,
So far we have: IQL, Ickle, QuIL, YAQL, LQID, INAQL, INQL, WTF,
NSFW, KMFDM.
I do not like acronyms that are not straight forward. They should
really be the initials of the simplest description of what the
thing is. In this case the acceptable one would be : Infinispan
Query Language => IQL. Unfortunately this seems to mean different
things to different people. So let's forget about acronyms and go
with ... *Ickle* [1][2][3], proposed by Tristan.
A very respectable bearded fellow once said: "There are only two
hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming
things." So let's use this as an excuse and dare to (maybe) settle
on a less than perfect name :). At least it is a damn cute one.
Thanks Tristan for the name!
Cheers!

I like Ickle and LQID personally. And Adrian is way too reasonable on a
name thread ;)

Hi all,
something trivial and fun for a Monday morning.
I've just issued a PR [1] to update the codename for Infinispan 9.0.
And while we're at it, let's give a name to the new query language that
Adrian (and Emmanuel) have designed. We already have a number of
suggestions (which I summarize below) but please feel free to add your
own. Please vote.
IQL (Infinispan Query Language, already used by others).
Ickle (Alternate pronunciation of above, also means "small")
LQID (Language for Querying Infinispan Datagrids)
QuIL ("Query Infinispan" Language)
