This 3-letter name is already taken [0], might be worth at least considering a different one.

It looks like this probably qualifies as a Show HN as well, if you can edit the title.

What are your future plans for the project? Are you using it regularly?

If Google can reuse names like "Go" and "Dart," then their "szl" is fair game for reuse.

Fair game sure, but unfortunately confusing. If there was another dart that was an actual programming language ( Is there ? ) you would have to qualify every time which dart programming language you meant. I imagine searching for things online would be tricky.

I don't believe so. We changed the name to "Dart" from "Dash" because the lawyers did a trademark search and felt the former was a safer bet.

szl is the name of the compiler, not the language, but point taken.
