I haven't heard of Starlite or Litestar before. Is one a fork of the other? Their documentation intro text is identical:

> {Litestar|Starlite} is a powerful, flexible, highly performant, and opinionated ASGI framework, offering first class typing support and a full Pydantic integration. > > The {Litestar|Starlite} framework supports Plugins, ships with dependency injection, security primitives, OpenAPI schema generation, MessagePack, middlewares, and much more.

starlite was the original name, it was recently renamed to litestar due to comments about how easily confused "starlette" and "starlite" are.
data point in favor of the renaming: while reading GP, I've assumed that "starlite" is a typo for "starlette."
