Rune (the existing language) is a fairly small hobby project that only got started in 2020. The developer of this new Rune probably just didn't know about it.

There is nothing nefarious here. There is no cabal. These things happen all the time. I've had it happen to two of my own small/obscure projects. It happens.

Unless it's trademarked it doesn't matter in the slightest
