Deno: Name proposal

Created on 27 Jun 2018 · 6Comments · Source: denoland/deno

Hi, I respect current name "deno", also I got the idea why deno ;) and like it very much. But I got one idea and want to share, what do you think to call this project:
NodeTS

When I hear TS I've feeling of: Type Safety, Security, Also it has Typescript in core (which is awesome btw), so why not NodeTS?

Just shared this idea :)

Thanks, but this project is entirely different from Node.js, and it has different goals.

( btw, NodeTS is much like ts-node :/ )

Also, one more suggestion:
deno can be codename, and for public it can be NodeTS

Got it, I think deno will be: nodejs done right, based on current XP. Thanks for answer.

Node is a good word and I tried to keep it. I think we all are nodes :)

For me node was always reserved for visual node connecting editors and was a bad choice as it wasted or collided with the name which was already established in the vernacular for again I say a visual node connectivity system like you see in 3D and compositing applications Houdini nuke etc. First seen in a way with NeXT step but that was just GUI layout.
Obviously de no is no de flipped like least significant byte first.
