the pedantic mind of tech dorks knows no bounds. Seen one person ask for a heroin text editor - slippery slope much?

here it is a growing, thriving open source platform for kids to learn pretty cutting edge stuff, and of course some resident dorks on hackernews write essays on why the name has a NeGaTIve ConNotaTion

I agree, the replies I'm seeing to my initial comment are just dumb. One person replied "sugar daddy" which says more about them than it does about the word and use of "sugar." I get the impression that this thread attracted some hangry nerds who can't virtue signal fast enough about the horrors of sugar in food. We get it, but in the end, it's just a fun name for a kids product. Save your energy for the actual food industry, people. Yeesh.
