You probably know this, but ignore that guy. "the global namespace" lol

They're good names. Obviously if there is ever ambiguity, one would simply say "Shopify Hydrogen" or "Shopify Oxygen".

As if everything else isn't named with other random words... React, express, moment, chalk, gulp, path, jest, morgan, passport, and countless others. That's just npm packages. Rust? Elixir? Go???

Turns out we name things whatever we want and it doesn't pollute the global namespace because context exists.

We're meant to invent new words for everything? Talk about pollution... We definitely need more words like Shopiract! /s
