• JN (5/5) Mar 07 2020 Do we have any cool name for Dub packages?
• Paolo Invernizzi (8/13) Mar 07 2020 Frankly, I simply hate all that shuffle around names ... it's so
• Dennis (3/4) Mar 07 2020 I remember someone noting how unusual it is for D to have a name
• jxel (2/7) Mar 07 2020 There was more than one. They had to be distinguished somehow.
• Basile B. (6/20) Mar 07 2020 That's something else, it's more related to the internal codename.

Frankly, I simply hate all that shuffle around names ... it's so 
difficult to understand people when it's referring to them ...we 
already had to remember a gazillion on things, including horrible 
ubuntu names instead of simple numbers! :-)

Packages are ... well packages!

:-P

I remember someone noting how unusual it is for D to have a name 
for its standard library, "Phobos".

Very common for Operating systems. I've seen usage for other 
software.
Often they are forgotten quickly.
