God: Scalable in Memory Data Structure Server in Go

Bad name. Already taken by a well-known Ruby tool (http://godrb.com/).

Why not call it Heaven? It's got clouds.

I didn't know of this tool. I'm sure lots of programs use the name God TBH.

No, looks like it's just the one. And it's in Debian/Ubuntu [1][2] as "god", so this tool is already at a disadvantage, namewise:

    $ apt-cache search god | grep "^god"
    god - Fully configurable process monitoring

I wonder what the Debian/Ubuntu policy is on package name reuse? When Ruby is sent out to pasture, do we never get to use 'god' again?

wasn't "pasture" a slackware thing?
