Dagger is already a popular dependency injection framework, so why choose a name that will be confusing to people who will likely use both of these frameworks in their projects?

And the reason they're both called Dagger is as a play on using a DAG, directed acyclic graph, to model dependencies. Stealing that wittiness and pretending it's their own is pathetic.
I believe the required creativity for that is not that high as it doesn’t seem too far fetched. I’d rather call it a piece of convergent evolution.
These comments are extremely uninteresting. If you care so much, please just create an issue on their bugtracker or something.

Except this question.
