OpenTF renames itself to OpenTofu

It's a nice pun and at the same time is close to the original, which would help Terraform users recognize the brand. Your suggestions are nice, but less recognizable in that way.

Maybe we can take that pun to extreme though! If they ever have a designer that can come up with some crazy lore of terraforming with tofu that would be really really awesome. But I think they have more pressing matters right now.

I was just hoping more HN readers would get the reference... :-(

I got the reference but meh I think you needed a better delivery so it was more clearly a joke

Probably worth editing and explaining the references, I didn't get it at all. Not all of us hang around here 24/7/365/2023.

I just read the plot and now I understand the reference.

So it was a clever comment but not particularly a joke (maybe a not so good one?)

I have a feeling that the designer may find it... challenging.

I can imagine a piece of tofu with robotic arms terraforming stuff. Pretty easy.

Or a globe with a tofu on top. Make the tofu evil/insane and create a story it wants to transform every plant in tofu.

Or tofu being portrayed as this blank slate of a food that becomes something more when adding things around it.

I find the current logo to be genius though! It's like they took the Terraform logo, which to me looks like a cube that has fallen apart, and put it back together into a cute little cube of tofu.
