I think that is why despite it being eye roll inducing, there is still value to these descriptors as it explains what they are going for. In this case it tells us they are prioritizing the feel over everything else and for a package manager that is pretty solid focus.

As a Lua dev, I’m pro “anything that makes Lua easier to use/deploy”, and while do I see “lux” from the perspective of precocious naming attempts, I can also immediately overlook it by treating “LUX” as more of an acronym for “Lua User Experience”, so if it is actually able to deliver that promise, the eyes are gonna stop rolling and start focusing on using it ..
