Warp is also the name of a popular Haskell Web server about warp

Even as a former developer of Haskell-based web apps, I don't think this is a particularly concerning issue. As noted in this issue, there are already multiple projects named "warp". The name fits well with "hyper", it's short and memorable, and I don't think people are likely to get confused between a web server for Haskell and a web framework for Rust.

Other collisions of note: there's already a Python framework called hyper. Not surprising given the problem domain. I don't think that collision causes any issues either.

You aren’t going to please everyone on an internet full of millions of people. Name collisions are just going to be inevitable. I like Warp. “Warp Rust” google search brings me exactly where I need to go, other languages and hobbies can do the same.

I agree, it's probably not a big deal. Feel free to close this issue.

Oh noes! I admittedly have never heard of that. I liked the name "warp" as a play on the name "hyper"... 🤷

As a extra item of data, when I read the headline of the announcement my first thought was whether it was affiliated in any way with the Haskell web server. Given both are high performance statically typed languages I think it's more likely to cause confused than with Python or Javascript.

There is also warp-server, a node express middleware package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/warp-server Personally I like the name.

There are a lot of Warps out there. I think in most cases because of different domains there's implicit context so people can tell the difference between stuff, but in Haskell land, Warp is the most popularly used Web server, named because designed specifically for high performance, so there could be confusion and I can't currently recall such a similar collision in a particular domain.

FWIW, my sole requirement regarding a project name is a string I can use to isolate web search queries to relevant information. warp-rs would do that and those so inclined could refer to themselves as "warpers".

[tshepang]

Regarding search entries, would "warp-rs" actually be better than "warp rust"?

[kellytk]

As long as they both satisfy my requirement they're equivalent to me. warp-rs is only a suggestion should an alternate be opted for.
