There was a looong distracting thread a month ago about something similar, niche language, might have been Julia, had a package with the same name as $NEW_THING.

I hope this one doesn't stir as much discussion. It has 4000 stars, there isnt a large mass of people who view the world through the lens of "Flux is ML library". No one will end up in a "who is on first?" discussion because of it. If this line of argument is held sacrosanct, it ends up in an infinite loop until everyone gives up and starts using UUIDs.

Eagerly waiting for this to happen in the medication names space. :)
Like the Go language that existed before Google Go.
It's named "Go!".

Disclosure: I work at Google but not on the Go team.
