the name piet comes from this project https://github.com/linebender/piet

it's an abstraction of common 2d vector graphics libs.

That project and the programming language were both named after the famous artist, Piet Mondrian.

My post wasn’t to complain about the name collision though. I don’t see an issue with the name being shared like that as they’re occupy similar but distinct domains. I just thought I’d share my confusion in case it entertained anyone.
