I am sure you would float it in the community before deciding on a new name ;)

BTW even I put it up as Erlang on Rails when I talked about it on my blog:

wOoops – it`s almost as good as to wake up from nightmare :)) That would be really really terrible name, total disgrace (not really fall on RoR)

Yariv, I love you, but…

That’s about the stupidest name ever! It pretty much admits you are not as good as Rails, and the best you can do is to “live up to it”.

It doesn’t set you apart.

Please, please, please keep it ErlyWeb.

Maybe “Erlang on Maglev” would indicate that it is a faster, more modern framework.

[...] the Tipping Point? 2 April 2008 Posted by ojmason in Uncategorized. trackback Yariv wants to rename the Erlang web framework ErlyWeb to ‘Erlang on Rails’, as he believes Erlang is on the tipping point, and such a name change would swing more programmers [...]

Ooops. I only read the post on rss, and also on 02/04. My first thought was ‘why imitate those Ruby guys?’ And then I read the comments…

Dammit, you got me. And I *HATE* 1 April, so I generally am very wary of this sort of thing, but to be fair, I read it on 2 Apr.
