The Hotdog web browser and browser engine

Love the food-centric naming conventions for all the components. Can we take a moment to appreciate themed naming conventions in software ecosystems?

It’s a great conversation starter, and it’s something that will keep us smiling even when things get serious.

I upvoted not because I agreed (I found the naming conventions distracting and inconsistent) but because why the fuck was your perfectly innocuous comment downvoted?

I'm not sure, but it made me sad. I don't think we are supposed to talk about downvotes, so I just grinned and bared it.

Thanks for offsetting that vote for me.

I also like it, despite I have to admit: As a vegan person, I would not like to contribute to software parts named after sausage ;-)

I am not a vegan, but I have had vegan (not imitation meat!) sausages that were absolutely delicious! But I admit the likely connotation is pretty meaty
