Aside from the project itself (which I admittedly did not look at particularly closely), I can't help but wonder why authors choose a name that is already clearly in use [1]. Obviously picking a name is hard. Picking a name that is unique across the whole Interwebz is significantly harder. However, picking a name that is already in use in the tech sector just strikes me as strange. What I would have loved though is if they named the project "etcd" or "Serf", since those projects deal with finding consensus of rather a different kind ... :) [1]: https://www.consul.io/ EDIT: well, this project had its first commit back in July '15. Hashicorp's Consul changelog goes back to April '14. So I suppose at the time this project was conceived it's not unreasonable to consider that few people knew of Hashicorp's Consul. |
