Fizz – experimental language and runtime environment

The webpage looks really good, and the description of fizz sounds great.

On the other hand, the name "fizz" is somewhat tonedeaf, reminding me of fizzbuzz. Fizz, the language, may overcome the name reuse on its own merits, if people like fizz well enough. The going may be a bit tough until then, however.

At the very least, they missed an opportunity by not having a buzz.fizz example on the home page :-)

Well, the naming was supposed to evoke "a cocktail" and "things bubbling up" as that's part of the concept. You are not the only one to have given me some sort of grievance about it :-|

Fizz is a bit of a buzz kill.

Yea, but only a third of the time, give or take.
