Since this isn't easily pronouncable in english, I dropped the t. To make it sound more energetic I doubled the fs and es. The domain is available on .com .org and .net, as the word doesn't really mean anything at all.Ståle Undheimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741750605858169835.post-32885263106260341842009-02-14T16:06:27.000+00:002009-02-14T16:06:27.000+00:00How about "Asian Teen"? :PHow about "Asian Teen"? :Pkebernetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741750605858169835.post-76898172872441440762009-02-13T08:48:24.000+00:002009-02-13T08:48:24.000+00:00I don't really get the need for changing the n...I don't really get the need for changing the name. If you want Fan to grow you have advertise it and SEO only won't make it. It is small thing IMO. Updated wikipedia and other pedias articles, forum posts, good technical blogging, presentations on developer conferences and, the most important I think, killer app would make Fan more popular.<br />If SEO matters compete in the "programming language" phrase. <br />How would I Google the name when its different when I haven't heard about it? When I want to go to Fan's site and I am a developer I shoud figure out the phrase "fan programming language" or similar, right?Wojciech Halicki-Piszkonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741750605858169835.post-89049514786075513822009-02-13T04:04:12.000+00:002009-02-13T04:04:12.000+00:00Hi,Stephen Colebourne,

This is not yet taken and Google yet to show this term yet.<br /><br />The # is used to prevent sound similarity of Java so to avoid Sun's displeasure, and putting # also means that it sways different from naming convention of Microsoft language (C#, F#, J#), making it more distinguishable from the current pack of languages.<br /><br />www.cavasharp.org ?GeekyCoderhttp://www.geekycoder.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741750605858169835.post-2384834857900252152009-02-13T02:02:46.000+00:002009-02-13T02:02:46.000+00:00I'd say Java is more ambiguous than Fan, it...I'd say Java is more ambiguous than Fan, it's only because the 15 year old history of the former now has saturated the Internet.<br /><br />More to the point, how about C:* (C KISS), or Finc (Finc is not C).Caspernoreply@blogger.com
