My father told me a story of a kid in his school named "Tom". The teacher would call him "Thomas" and the boy would argue, "No, my name is Tom". The teacher said "Tom is short for Thomas". The boy responded "My name is Tom, because my parents didn't know how to spell 'Thomas'!"

Not if you want people to know what you are talking about. For the same reason people want to get rid of Obamacare but want to keep the ACA. Name association is key for non-techies. If you want to advance the name, say "The Bluesky Protocol (technical name: ATproto)" or something like that.

The thing that keeps me writing more rust is cargo. I absolutely hate the download world development. And honestly, I don't trust the repository. I don't know where that code is coming from.

The point is, if you can do this then you can make the C compiler catch the same bugs as a Rust compiler. That's the driving force of switching to Rust.

I know it uses a subset of C (mini C) but then just code with that!
