We barely had FB and Sonar, to just get yet another example of how badly to name projects.

Honestly I have never heard of any of those and so long as they aren't too close in what their intended use is I don't see the issue. Worse case it can just be called GluonVM then you have no ambiguity as to what you're talking about. Naming can be a pain. The worst I've seen so far was the WAMP protocol we saw posted sometime back.


Gluon is also a language built on Rust: https://github.com/gluon-lang/gluon


Which I heard of for the first time only weeks ago and thought this was.




Also part of the name of a fictional weapon: http://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Gluon_Gun


Gluon is also a freifunk project for mesh networking.
