Does a minifier have the mindshare it takes? I'd say "yes, but it's close".īecause I've frequently run into the what-does-this-package-do-again-problem cited above, I'd also like to share the following snippet. It's mostly a matter of size: a programming language can afford to have a non-descriptive name, leftpad should rebrand to 000001.js, but a project that isn't at the center of attention may just make life difficult for everyone by trying to be clever. I'm on the fence if it makes sense here, and I'd say only "bbl" actually fits the idea. This naming agency (no connection) has a bunch of articles on it. My favorite example is "Plan B" for the morning-after pill. It can help the project if it adds emotion to function, if only by being more easy to remember (which also helps users). I'd like to quickly make the vain attempt to argue for poetry in world of prose: An evocative name can, sometimes, bring a moment of levity, a hint of a smile in an otherwise dull day. Yada yada yada be constructive, be aware, don't be mean. Dont assert your own opinions/experiences as the opinions and experiences of the entire community. Be aware of strawman arguments and other logical fallacies and don't do them. Please do not go on tangents, please be respectful of others (follow the Babel CoC), and don't just keep repeating something that has been said. Please ensure that any comment you are making on this thread is actively contributing to the discussion of a name change. Message from I can already tell this thread will blow up: A couple notes before you comment in this thread Haven't met many people that liked the name □. Given that it's just a preset + plugins it makes sense to just be babel-minify so everyone understands what it is and we don't have issues trying to explain it or it's pronunciation.Īnd after talking with people about it (what's that?), I refer to it as the babel minifier anyway. Ok it's changed (pkgs should be updated as of 0.2.0)
