Come on, don't do that! That's like if someone shows you their play compiler and you say:

> If people keep calling random programs 'a compiler', it will quickly lose meaning... A compiler is intended as a new medium of human-machine interaction, capable of transforming arbitrary source programs into machine code...I realize you know about the limitations, but only supporting static assignment, not being able to compile functions, it's what makes it "not even a compiler" for me.

Dynamicland was always Dynamicland, even when it was starting out as a tiny implementation.

It depends on if you see "Dynamicland" as a generic word/phrase like compiler or video game, or as a proper noun, like Xcode or Nintendo Switch?
