stdlib already means something else. Don't you know when you pick a name, you need to pick something with zero google hits?


If you look at the URL, this is the stdlib for debugging leadership. One project deciding to call their standard library stdlib doesn’t mean others cannot.


It does need some additional SEO work but this is a great name for what this product is IMO.

I'm thinking the SEO work is not insurmountable because if you were to draw a Venn diagram of std lib meanings:

    - libc?
    - libstdc++?
    - any of the other standard library of any of our languages (python, java, go blah blah - many langs have rich standard libraries)
    - ...
There's zero overlap with this specific case.

Maybe worded differently: When you say stdlib, it already depends on the context today. This new context has zero implementation overlap with those existing contexts but it is the same concept.

Yeah I think this is a great name and worth the small SEO battle.


I wasnt intending it to be “a thing” it’s part of something else I’m building
