Interesting project but I can't unread the fact that you chose to name something Ana followed by a word which starts with an L.

Wish you all the best.

Reminds me of a C++ project I use to work on. The norm was to have generous function naming and not stick to the outdated C convention of short and cryptic names. The only exception was the function "anal", which was curiously shortened from "analyze".
Yep, see #susanalbumparty
It’s not even one of those obsessive compulsive anally typed non-compiled languages either, so anal-lang doesn’t even fit.
This must've been deliberate. I can't imagine a scenario where AnaLang wouldn't have raised flags.
Or bad code smells
I can honestly say that I never made this association, and it never crossed my mind once. Now that you mentioned it, I can see it. I just always say "analang" like golang
That's okay, I made a logo once that if you turned it to the side it was very bad, and I didn't notice for months. I like the other poster's suggestion of Annalang.
Can’t. Unsee. This…
analog, analemma, analogous, analyze...
