It shouldn’t need to be a company policy, you’d think a competent engineer would simply do due diligence in naming their project. I remember searching for name clashes for a project I wrote solo when I was ~13 years old in the early 2000s.
The competence is assumed. The disappointment comes from people who are competent not doing the due diligence that some think should be par for the course when naming a project.
You seem to be a lot more saddened than I am that a nice two letter name wasn't successfully squatted for all eternity by a no longer maintained ultra obscure niche language that no one has ever heard of let alone used.
Now perl stealing prolog's file extension on the other hand...
