There was a looong distracting thread a month ago about something similar, niche language, might have been Julia, had a package with the same name as $NEW_THING.

I hope this one doesn't stir as much discussion. It has 4000 stars, there isnt a large mass of people who view the world through the lens of "Flux is ML library". No one will end up in a "who is on first?" discussion because of it. If this line of argument is held sacrosanct, it ends up in an infinite loop until everyone gives up and starts using UUIDs.

Eagerly waiting for this to happen in the medication names space. :)

Like the Go language that existed before Google Go.

It's named "Go!".

Disclosure: I work at Google but not on the Go team.

i would give them a break, so many things exist in the tech sector that being completely original is basically impossible, unless you name your thing something nonsensical

also search engines are context aware, if your search history is full of julia questions, it will know what you're searching for

Also Flux is a now obsolete application architecture for ReactJS.

I think we've generally run out of names to give projects and need to start reusing names. Maybe use letters to disambiguate them.

Flux A is the ML library

Flux B is the T2I model

Flux C is the React library

Flux D is the physics concept of power per unit area

Flux E is the goo you put on solder

Don't forget Fl.ux, which was a very popular way to make "night shift" happen for more than a decade

f.lux
