A comment on Fasm, a F# to Jitted ASM/IL disassembler as a dotnet tool.

FASM is overloaded: https://flatassembler.net/

Since it's the same context I'd rather they didn't reuse the name.

The name Fasm is a pun around the French word Phasme which translate to Phasmatodea in English and is coined with F(sharp) + asm (i.e assembly).

Following this thread, I opened an issue about this: https://github.com/d-edge/fasm/issues/5

Agreed. I prefer the other FASM too

Agreed. 'Fshasm' would make the connection to F# clearer and avoid this confusion.

Fshasm is good idea and available on nuget (https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Fshasm). We lost the author's wordplay though. I opened an issue on GitHub to talk about the name. Come join us :) https://github.com/d-edge/fasm/issues/5

Looks a bit too much like "fascism" for my taste.

The Levenstein distance to either "Fasm" or "Fshasm" are the same, at three. I don't think that's too close.

And the distance between "Levenstein" and "Levenshtein" is only one, so is this an OK misspelling? :)
